Husky puppy won't eat anything at all.

Asked Mar 9, 2012, 05:02 AM — 18 Answers
I bought my husky puppy yesterday, and it has not taken a bite on any food yet, doesn't at all. Bought the best dog food , today I tried giving it milk but it just vomited the milk out a few minutes later.the puppy is around 8 weeks old by the way. What may be the problem. I am very worried. I know the husky dogs tend to be very active, but this one is passive and sleeping all the time.

Alright just heads up. I took the husky puppy to the veterinarian today, the vomiting had gone too serious that it was vomiting blood.Things had gone way serious, and if I had delayed one more day the puppy could have died. The vet did what she could and seems like the dog is sleeping in peace for now, but gonna have to continue with the healing process for several days. Thanks everyone for the help. and I strongly advise that you don't rely on the "Left mum" part too much, as it may not be the reason every time, and DO NOT give your puppy milk, nothing but anything the breeder advises you.

I've actually witnessed the stress-induced parvo. Puppies will be fine at our rescue for months but once they leave, owners will write back stating their new puppy got parvo. We dont have parvo here.

There is also a theory stating that puppies that are allowed to grow up where they were whelped have a lower chance of getting parvo. Puppies that are taken away from mom early or are moved around all over the place are more likely to get parvo. I kind of believe this theory...

And of course, whether or not the parents had any vaccinations plays a huge role in how puppies get parvo. If the mother was never vaccinated or exposed to the virus, she never passed on any type of antibody to her puppies. Those puppies are very open to the virus and if stressed can get the virus and probably die from it.
Very interesting, it makes good sense. Thanks for filling me in!

I have a 9 week old puppy who I got a week ago. She has tested positive for giardia. Her red blood count is low. She has anemia. She has been in the hospital since Friday. The doctor has done all tests possible. He can not find the problem. She has been on 3 different antibiotics. She will drink but will not eat anything. They have been force feeding her every 4 hours. He is almost ready to give up. I love her so much and want to help her. Does anyone have any suggestions?????? Pam

I am really sorry for yor situation, my heart goes out to you and your family. Have they been treating her for the Giardia? Where did you get your pup from? I would assume that the pup is on IV for fluids? I wish I had more to offfer. Maybe another member can come and shed some more light. Good luck! Please keep us posted.

Giardia

Here are a couple more sites with information on giardia, not to much reading, I promise.

Giardia will typically cause dehydration. Do you know what other testing has been done?
