All right, so my mom brought home this new puppy. A few weeks old, half chihuahua, half weenie dog.
The first day we got her she was really energetic and chubby. Really normal.
So we bought some purina puppy chow, and it was what the seller told us she ate.
Well she ended up throwing up, and hasn't eaten since.
We tried some of that beef dog food, and we tried chicken. We even tried to give her chicken broth.

She won't eat anything. She's just been laying around a lot... seems depressed or sick.

I don't know what to do:confused: its really depressing:(

The vet isn't open until Monday and I really want to help this little baby:(


I'm grateful for ANY help!:)

Its Sunday now, so likely she will be OK until tomorrow. It isn't too unusual to have such problems. Even more likely if she is less than 6 weeks old, the very minimum age for a puppy to leave its mother. She could have all sorts of things wrong. She needs a vet check, maybe medicine, and shots if the breeder didn't have any done. Take her and any medical records to the vet tomorrow.

Not eating by itself usually isn't a problem. See ''My dog won't eat.'', https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/dogs/i...tml#post254171

All right, well I forgot to add, she has diarrhea. Like her feces was very watery and had a unusual smell?

Its parvo! Get her to a vet now! Prompt treatment is your only hope of saving her. Find one with emergency hours. She must go on IV. It will be very expensive.

Please take labmans advice and see an emergency vet, it could be parvo, but could also be gastro enteritis, my dog had gastro enteristis when I got him and wouldn't eat, even when he drank water it would come back, he also had severe diarrhea, your pup really does need a vetys attention, my dog was 6 months old and was severely ill, yours being so young needs attention immediately.

Same problem here, we brought the pup into the vet , he went on an IV and everything the vet said he was getting better and could take him home, now his diarehha has stopped but he still won't eat... have tried everything any suggestions?

How long has it been? With the puppy having just been through the parvo wringer, and into the weekend, this may be an exception to my usual advice to wait it out. Can you call the vet in the morning?
