My 7 weeks Siberian husky suddenly stopped eating food, it eats treats and drinks water, pee and poo outside as always I have had it for a week now its used to me and to the people in the house its always playing sleeping normal it just won't eat for some reason. I have been feeding it Blue buffalo dry food and I mix it with a little bit of warm water. What could be the reason?

Any sudden changes in eating habits or behavior need to be seen to by a vet.

Are you aware that no reputable breeder will rehome a puppy before 8 weeks of age? Backyard breeders can honestly not be trusted with anything, so I would be taking this puppy in to the vet for a full health examination regardless.
Did the "breeder" provide you with proof of worming and health checks?

You guys should calm down... its nothing, don't feed him for a litle while and then after he is hungry give him some of the dry food without adding the warm water to it and see if he eats

If you thought you knew the answer, why did you ask the question?

Also, you're answer is wrong. Not feeding him is not the answer, especially at the age of 7 weeks when he really needs all the nutrition he can get.

The fact is, no reputable breeder allows a dog to be adopted until at least 8 weeks of age. In fact, in most states it's illegal to separate a puppy from it's mother until 8 weeks. Seeing as the person you adopted this puppy from gave the puppies away at 6 weeks (you said you'd already had the puppy for a week) I wouldn't count on any of the normal testing, de-worming etc. having been done on the pup.

See your vet. Not eating is a sign that something is going on.

You asked a question. And then answering it. So what is going on with you?

And answered it wrong. :rolleyes:

If he/she thought they knew the answer I have to wonder what they're doing here in the first place.

I can say one thing. The attitude won't bode well for this poster. We volunteer here and we don't have to answer questions. If he/she has any more concerns about the puppy it may serve the OP well to apologize to the experts on this site that were only trying to help.
