    Seven-week old puppy not eating


    Hello, I have a new puppy a beagle and terrier mix, she is not eating as well as she did a week ago. I am concerned, is this normal behaviour? Please help. Thanks in advance.

    Unless you are grossly over feeding it, likely it has a medical problem and needs to see a vet. For more details, see the ''My dog won't eat'' section of the sticky at https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/dogs/i...tml#post254171 Chances are, tempting it with rich food is the wrong thing to do.

    Yes, Ms Daisy, labman is absolutely correct. You need to make an appointment with your vet. If your puppy is suddenly off her food, when previously there wasn't an issue, she needs to be examined.
