My 3-4 week old Pitbull puppy won't eat. I tried bottle and soft food.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Smokey. I recommend that he sees a veterinarian today. Parvovirus infection is unfortunately common in his breed. The veterinarian will examine him and likely perform fecal testing for this disease as well as other infections. Based on these results, treatment can be started to help him feel better. Try to encourage him to eat or place some karo syrup on his gums to prevent his blood sugar from dropping too low. I hope this information helps!

I am sorry Queen isn't feeling well. Since she is not eating and acting weak, I would not give her more time, I would get her to a vet right away. They need to check for parasites and parvovirus. Bring a fresh stool sample so they can check her out and get her treated. Good luck and kisses to Queen!

At three tyo four weeks of age your puppy is way too young for vaccinations. He also needs to be with his mommy at that age and still drink milk, Please put him back with his mother or at least raise him properly with puppy milk. If he does not take any food he needs to be seen by a veterinarian, preferably today..

And in terms of the food -- he should be willing to eat wet food, if not dry food, at this age. So if he's not, I would highly recommend a check up with your vet to make sure everything looks ok. He may just need more time to adjust, but with such a young guy, he can get low blood sugar and dehydration very quickly, so it's important to act sooner rather than later.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Romeo Lion. I recommend seeking emergency veterinary care for him today. It is abnormal for a puppy to go so long without eating. Being such a young dog, I worry that his blood sugar will drop without eating. The veterinarian will examine him and try to determine why he isn't eating. You can try placing karo syrup on his gums prior to seeking care. I hope this information helps!

Sometimes puppies don’t have a great appetite when they first come home to a new environment. If you don’t know what he was eating before you got him you may want to find out so you can continue with that food. You could also try adding some canned food to tempt him. If he’s had any vomiting or diarrhea, or if his appetite does not improve in a day or two I’d recommend seeing your vet for an exam. Intestinal parasites and several hereditary diseases could cause a decrease in appetite and it’s a good idea to see a vet for a general health check up when you get a new puppy.

It's hard to tell. It may be that Ghost is still experiencing some underlying illness (and schedule a recheck with your vet is always a good idea, especially if he isn't back to normal after treatment). Possible issues such as an allergy to his food, or just a preference to people food (especially if he gets a lot of people treats that make his own food look less tasty) may also be at play. Having your vet recheck to rule out any issues is a good first step. You can also try to entice him to eat more of his food by moistening it or adding a little low sodium chicken broth or boiled chicken (both are easy on the tummy) as well as stopping any extras like people food or treats. If he continues to not want to eat, speaking with your vet is best.
