My daughter has a Blue Nose Pit 4 1/2 months old female she has a great appetite and goes crazy for her puppy treats about two hours ago I found her under my bed and she would not come out I pulled her out and put her on my bed and she urinated on my bed witch she never does and I put her food out and she won't touch it I tried to give her a puppy treat and she won't even open her mouth .I just took her out for a walk with my Shepperd and she is running and playing but still won't eat. Its not like her at all her nose is wet and cold my daughter said she found a tick on her 2 days ago and she took it off and bathed her with a flee and tick dip and she has been fine up until now. What should I do?

If she is otherwise acting normal check her mouth. She should have started teething by now and it may be something as simple as an infected tooth.
They act normal, but don't like eating or using their mouths for playing.

Have you tried feeding her in different rooms of the house as well? Something may have scared or startled her making her apprehensive about eating near it.

This is a follow up to yesterday
This morning she ether thou up or had a fairly clear liquid diarrhea in to different spots in the house and now she is eating a little and drinking a lot and seems in better sprites do you think I should take her in or just keep an eye on her to be honest we can't afford to take her to the ER

Can I please ask why your daughter has a new puppy when she can't afford vet care?

Keep an eye on her. Id recommend taking her in but since that apparently isn't possible, go in on Monday.

We did take her to the ER she has parvo we are treating her at home the vet set us up with the I V and should us how to use it and keep her hydrated she is on baby food and petealight but right now just the IV in the morning and at night to get her all the nutrients she needs. It ran $480.00 my daughter got the puppy as a gift it was not planned on my part but our dogs are members of family and I will spend what ever I can to get her better the Vet say she has about a 70% chance of getting better lets just hope she gets better. Thank You for Your Help
