Dog not eating food

Hi,

I am very worried about my 6 week old daschund puppy as she is not showing any interest in food. We keep changing foods but even after that she is not taking. Milk she is drinking.

Any help will be appreciated.

Regards,
Poonam

You really need to take the puppy to the vet or at least contact your vet and see what they think.

Yes please take her to the vet. Changing food can upset her stomach. What type of milk are you giving her?

It could be due to removing her from her mother and litter too soon. Even so, as the others said, she needs to see a vet. Take any medical records you may have. You might read through the sticky starting at http://www.askmehelpdesk.com/dogs/in...tml#post251809

Not eating isn't near the problem of what ever is causing it may be. Most puppies come from the breeder too fat, a great danger to Dachshunds and their backs. Missing a few meals won't hurt. Once the vet gives her the OK, you need to pick a chow and stick with it. Don't give her ordinary milk. It contains lactose which puppies can't digest.
