    At 5 weeks is pretty young yet. Is he completely weaned? What are you trying to feed him?

    I discussed not eating in detail at https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/dogs/i...tml#post254171

    If you have only had him a day or 2, continue to offer a decent dry puppy chow and plenty of TLC. Also a 5 week old Chihuahua needs very little to eat.

    Nearly everybody agrees 5 weeks is too early for a puppy to leave its mother and littermates. Still I think you will have fewer problems than after 12 weeks.
