    Has she had diaherria at all? If so, take her to the vet. ASAP. It is likely to be Parvo. Yes, puppies that have had their shots can still contract the virus. It is very contagious for dogs. The sooner the illness is caught by a vet the more likely the puppy will survive.

    Hope this helps.
    Good Luck

    Start with reading the sticky at https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/dogs/i...tml#post254171 Most puppies come from the breeder too fat. Roly poly may be cute, but lean is healthy. Missing a few meals won't hurt most puppies.

    How old is the puppy, how long have you had it, and what was it eating before? Puppies should be weaned on softened puppy chow starting at 4 weeks, and be on solid, dry chow before going to their homes at 7-8 weeks.
