My puppy is 7 weeks. Old.. his brother was taken from him to a new owner. Since he left, my puppy is very depressed.. he quit eating and now I have to feed him my hand ( a/d) and pedialyate water. I don't know what more I can do. He had been to the vet and they cannot find anything wrong with him.

Do you play with him a lot, give him a lot of attention ?

Please don't lick your puppies nose, there are some intestinal parasites that can transfer to humans. For that matter don't allow him to kiss you or others either. Dogs pass eggs in their feces, they lick their hind end and voilą, there they are in their mouth.

If anyone has ever seen a tape worm, then I don't think they would be licking any puppy's nose. They arrive in our pet's intestine by ingesting fleas.

Pup won't stay depressed long, short attention span will take care of that; anyway they live in the moment and if he has Already bonded with you, you will be his whole world for a very long time.
