It sounds like your dog likes milk and bread more than dog chow. If you are afraid of weight loss, try mixing a little milk with the dog chow to wean the puppy slowly off the milk.

Read labman's post on my dog won't eat, and the one on what a puppy needs. He offers some great advice and shares a wealth of knowledge.

Do not give him cows' milk. It contains lactose that dogs can't digest. What does the vet say? As a rule if you cut out stuff like the bread and milk, they will start eating the dog chow in a day or 2. He may also need another day or 2 to recover from the fever. You are right that he needs the dog chow for a complete and balanced diet. Even with the current problems and recalls, the commercial dog chows are still the best diet the averaged dog owner can provide.

I thank Teachnk for directing you to the sticky. You can better determine which case fits your dog and the best course of action along with your vet.

Give him dg meat (but if dog chow is dog meat, then mix in some biscuits) Dogs shouldn't just eat the same normal things every day. Give the food a littlw bit of ZING ZANG ZOOOOOOOOONGG! (aka- mix biscuits with meat)
