    Do you have a medical history? Does it show a combo, DLCPP, shot at 3-4 months? If not, I would get it to the vet this week or early next week.

    The not eating sounds to me like the ''new home jitters''. An early vet visit is always good with a new dog. Read through the sticky at https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/dogs/i...tml#post251802 Work your way down to the section on ''My dog won't eat''.

    Your puppy needs to be eating a dry dog chow and little else. If it is a large breed, it should be adult chow to avoid damaging its joints by too fast of growth. Also note the material on weight in the section on not eating. This is not the time to be tempting it with rich food or adding stuff to get it to eat. Unless it is sick, it should be eating in a few days. Bribing it to eat now is a good start on a sickly, picky dog.

    Also maybe try a different type of food, our cats I know only like certain foods, some even upset the stomach, so we keep note of the ones that are not good for them, and depends on each, for your pup, I would also bring it to the vet. It could be as simple as food, or depression or maybe an illness. Try both

    All the best

    I don't know about cats, but messing around changing a dogs chow is the last thing you should do Stick to what the breeder was feeding as I say in my sticky. .
