    Maltipoo (7 weeks) won't eat!
    I just got my 7 week old Matipoo today. She seems very shy and hides her face if you talk to her. She hasn't eaten anything ALL day! I gave her some Pedialite from a syringe and she drank it all and she also had a few sips of water. The guy who sold her to me gave me a bag of food that she had been eating and said she's been eating that food for over a week now. I tried feeding her some milk supplement but she refuses to drink it and I also tried soaking her food in the milk. She also stumbles when she walks. PLEASE HELP ME!

    I wouldn't worry about the eating for a few days. Sometimes the new environment is too much. Many puppies come from the breeder too fat. Tempting it with rich food would be a mistake. I don't like the stumbling. Maybe take any medical records you got and head to the vet.

    Thank you so much for your quick response. I am very relieved to know she's not starving. Should I put food in her crate when I put her to bed for the night?

    No, it is better not to leave food in the crate. If she is going to eat, she will eat in the morning.
