Well my girlfriend got me a 9 week old bulloxer as title says and well the 1st day we had her she didn't eat or drink... wasn't too worried at first due to her readjusting to new envirnoment... 2nd day she ate lots and drank plenty, both days she was going to bathroom good, but today the 3rd day she just has been sleeping and not eating. And barely drinking should I be worried now Is she still adjusting here
Sorry for long post

Has your puppy had any vaccines yet?
I always worry when a puppy is lethargic, and not eating or drinking. A vet visit may be in order.

I agree with Sariss but want to add. Did you change her food or is she on the same food that the breeder was feeding her?
If it's different food did you do half and half to let her tummy adjust?
It could be that she's constipated but that's only a guess.
It's always best to go to the vet. If she isn't drinking she can become dehydrated very quickly.
Keep us posted.
Good luck.

You did the right thing by bringing the puppy to the vet. Your puppy has a much better chance of pulling through with vet care. I know what it feels like to go through what you are going through. I really hope your baby makes it.
I would suggest giving whoever you got the puppy from a call ASAP. If the puppy was already showing signs of parvo when you got it then it picked it up from the "breeder" and the litter mates are likely sick or in danger of being sick.

I'm so happy to hear that. I've been thinking about you and your little girl all day. I hope she'll be okay. Thanks for keeping us posted.

I'm glad to hear that she is doing better. I had a baby that had Parvo at 8 weeks, he lived to be 17 years and was a 45 pound Dog, just lost him last year,:( But he was the King of all the dogs in the house and family.:D Good Luck to you and your baby girl.
If you can, visit her everyday, I had to step through the bleach, but my pup was so happy to see me.:)

Sorry to hear about losing your dog
Found out today she did a 180 and didn't eat anything so they are doing a blood transfusion so hopefully the next couple of days will be better to my ears

Awww she is gorgeous!
Love the eye patch, cute!

I'm so glad she's doing well. She's adorable and so lucky to have a daddy that cares.

I'm also glad she's healthy and happy but you are going to want to work on the biting issue now while she's a puppy. It won't be so cute when she's all grown up.

YeA I know the worst thing she bites at are my nipple rings LOL

Ouch! Lol
Just give her some rubbery or squeeky toys.
Tell her no when she bites you and give her the toy to chew on instead :)
