My puppy won't eat, lost weight, and is tired. Should I worry?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | unneutered | 6 months and 24 days old

Hello, my dog (7 months old), used to be happy and playful, eating a lot, has lost his apetite for the last 7 days (having eaten very little in the meantime). he has definetely lost weright, although he is moving around, with less energy, and is happy to go for a walk. Took him to doctor twice and he finds he is perfectly ok (no pain, nothing) and he thinks it is just a matter of time for the dog to start eating again. I am still worried and will take him to another doctor. Ideas?

That's not good,. Unfortunately a loss of appetite is a common sign of many illnesses. I wish it could narrow it down, but I can't without seeing Riko in person. I would take him into another vet for a second opinion as well as blood work and a urinalysis.

My dog is lethargic, not eating, and sleeping more. What's the issue?

These behaviors are signs of illness, but unfortunately there are very general signs of many illnesses. Without seeing Rilo in person, I can't say what is going on. I'd have him seen by a vet in the morning.

My puppy is refusing to eat and looks unwell. Should I see a vet?

Nik is experiencing very general symptoms of disease, these symptoms could fit almost any internal condition, maybe he is suffering from nausea due to a gastrointestinal disease and maybe he is in pain, from the symptoms described it's very hard to know. i would recommend taking him to the vet as soon as possible in order to get him checked, if he doesn't show any other obvious symptoms during the examination, a blood test and possibly an ultrasound will be needed in order to try and find out what is wrong with Nik .

My dog is acting strange and not eating. What tests should I request?

I'm sorry but Riko's symptoms are very non-specific so it is very difficult for me to know may be going on with him just based on your description. Blood tests and x-rays do not always give a diagnosis. That is why there are so many different testing modalities available. So, I would say you should start with chemistry and CBC blood testing and x-rays of his abdomen to check for any obstruction.

My dog is skinny, won't eat, and has no energy. Should I worry?

Poor Zoey. There are so many things that can cause weight loss, lack of appetite and lethragy like an infection, parasites, liver or kidney disease, a pyometra (infection if the uterus), cancer, and much more. I would have you vet take a look at her. Your vet will be able to do blood work and possible x-rays if needed. They will be able to get her started on the proper treatment plan to help her feel better. I hope this helps!

My dog is suddenly lazy, not eating, and sleeping a lot. Is he sick?

Poor Pocholo! It definitely sounds like he isn't feeling well for some reason. Unfortunately, these symptoms are very vague and could be caused by almost any type of illness or injury, so there's no way to say what might be wrong without being able to examine him. I would recommend taking him to the vet for a check-up as soon as you are able to - he/she can do some blood work or other testing if needed to help determine what's wrong and get him started on appropriate treatment for the problem.

My puppy is thin, I see ribs, and he's not eating much. What to do?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Loss of appetite can be observed with many conditions such as gastroenteritis, dietary indiscretion, kidney disease, pancreatitis, among many other possibilities. I recommend that you have Rambo evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They would be able to check for these possibilities and others depending on the findings on exam. Treatment would be based on findings. Good luck and have a great day! Hoping for a speedy recovery!

My puppy won't eat, is skinny, and lethargic. When should I see a vet?

I recommend having Koota seen by a vet immediately for treatment, as it sounds like his current condition could be life-threatening. There are a number of bacterial, viral and parasitic diseases he may have, particularly since both his parents passed away, presumably from illness, and he is likely dehydrated and probably has dangerously low blood sugar if he hasn't eaten in two days. Please have him seen immediately.
