    My 13 week old lab won't eat
    About 3 days ago my 13 week old black lab stopped eating and began vomiting regularly and was very lethargic. Thankfully the vomiting has gone away and she is starting to get her energy back, but she will not eat anything. How do I get her to start eating again.

    Sounds like a case of worms here. Not eating is one good sign, so is vomiting.

    If I were you I take my dog to the vet as this sounds like the Parvo Virus to me.. you can also verify this by looking at her (poop) if there is a little sign of blood I get it checked out...

    If she is like any lab I have you must rule out eating something that is not digestable. Take her to the vet.

    The symptoms of parvo are: depression, loss of appetite, vomiting, high fever and severe diarrhea. Feces can be either grayish or fluid and bloody.

    Right, chances are most Labs will swallow anything smaller than their own head - mine always had to be watched constantly when they were puppies.

    I know enough about the parvo virus to know that not all symptoms are visible.. the dog may or may not have parvo based on the above symptoms describe above, and even at time the virus can go undetected until it has passed on to other dogs. It is said to look for any of these symptoms. Any one of them may be a sign of the virus.. but then again I'm not a vet although I use to work for one
