How long has he been like this? Is he vomiting or have diarrhea? There are many things that can make a puppy lethargic, and none of them are good. I advise you seek vet attention Immediately. A young puppy can go downhill fast, and trust me, it's not fun losing a pup. If he's not drinking that makes it all the more urgent, dehydration is a serious lethal threat. If you have any, give him pedialyte orally with a syringe until you can reach a vet, it's not a life saving cure, but it might help the pup stay semi hydrated until he can be put on an I.V.

Please take your puppy to the nearest emergency vet if you cannot get her to drink any pedialyte. A subcutaneous injection of fluids will probably not be more than 75.00 and it's definitely money well spent to save your little one.

I hope she feels better soon. I'll keep y'all in my thoughts.

I would take him to the vet, right away! I just adopted a new dog, Thunder, and that is exactly what happened to him. He slowed down, stopped eating, wouldent play or anything. The shelter we adopted him from said Thunder's brother (greg) had parvo. Our dog tested positive and is at the vet right now. If your dog vomits or has diarrhea those too are signs.

Also, dehydration is a symptom. Look up parvo symptoms on Google, it might help.
