My boyfriend and I just adopted a thirteen week old miniature schnauzer. She's very playful and affectionate, but I'm worried she may be sick.
She barely ate anything for the first week, and drinks almost no water. She does usually poop twice a day, but she hardly ever pees. She averages once a day, but I've seen her go entire days without it.
My family adopted two of her litter mates, and we took her to play with them on Thursday. While she was there she wouldn't eat her own food, but would want to eat her brothers and sister's (we feed them the same brand).
She only wanted to eat or drink when they did, and she doesn't like treats unless she's sharing it with them. Even when she was eating and drinking with them she still wasn't peeing more than once a day.
Now that we're back home she doesn't want to eat again. She doesn't seem sick. She never whines, loves to run around outside, and sleeps through the night.
I'm really worried about her lack of urinating and appetite. Any advice.
