After being a cat person all my life, my son and I decided to love a dog. We wanted a shelter dog and got a two and a half weeks old puppy. Before giving us the puppy the shelter took him to the vet, he is vaccinated and we are still giving him a ten day tretament for worms. When Odisseo first got here he had diarrhea all the time and we thougth it was because of the deworming. The stools got harder as his appetite shrunk. Oddie takes one or to bites and stops esating. The same happens ith water, after a walk he just takes a little water. As I have never raised dogs I thougth maybe it was normal for a small dog to eat so little, but Ive seen him getting skinnier. To days ago I was so worried I tried to force feed him but he just puts his tonge out and throws away the food. This morning I tried cooking some rice and meat for the dog and he ate a little more that what he was eating (one cup of food), but did not eat anything else the rest of the day. I went to the place here Oddie sleeps and there was blood in the floor. I checked the dog and he is not hurt externaly. I took him an tried to find if something internal hurts but there is no pain. His behavior is very tranquile, he is not a playful dog but plays and likes to run with my son. At night I tried to feed him again and he did not eat, not even hen I gave him the treats he seemed to love so much. I am very scared for our dog. Im taking him to the vet first time in the morning but I would like to know what to do. Nothing like this ever happened with any of the cats I had before. Help me we are really scared for Oddie, we are in love with him and don't want anything bad to happen to him.
