    5 month puppy refuses to eat, help please.
    I have a 5 month yorkie pup. His names Ninja. :)

    Well he's usually happy 24\7 , he'll devour his food every time loves to run around my house and is eager to go outside with the biggest smile on him and plays around with his father Chewy and our second dog Macho.

    But now it feels like nearly a week to me but my mother claims its been 3 days he's been acting like this...
    Now he has absolutely no energy and lays down everywhere he can with out any type of playful nature on him, he looks miserable and isn't eating his food at all and drinks very little of his water... every little spring of hope he eats a few seconds later he'll vomit and stop eating for the day.he doesn't seem to have a loose stool or diarrhea. But he vomits a lot. He's lost A lot of weight to where his stomach curls in a but and I can see his hip bones just JUST slightly visible...

    Please help if I could I would send him to the vet immediately WAY before, but honestly, I'm only 15 and my parents well... aren't so believing until a scary fact hits them in the face. Please excuse my terrible grammar I doing this on my tablet...

    It could be parvo, which is fatal if not treated, and even fatal sometimes if treated.
    If you took him outside where the other dogs poop, and he hasn't had all his shots, that would be a likely cause of parvo.
    He needs to go to the vet TODAY.
    If your parents aren't believing, look up parvo and show them.
