| Pup not wanting to eat I just got a little girl, 11 weeks old, weighs a good 2.6 lbs and for the last 2 days she hasn't been wanting to eat much. we're feeding her dry kibble and I haven't seen her try to eat more than a couple bites. we just ended up leaving the food out for her since she doesn't eat much. we tried putting in the bathroom with the food for about 30 min. and still nothing. we've been giving her the nutri cal several times a day (and she hates it). she's still active during the day but she does take long naps several times a day. Her physical exam at the vet was fine but they didn't check her for anything else. Is this normal for a new pup in a new home? |

| She is adjusting to her surroundings, so it is normal but it can't go on. Have you tried canned food? It is okay to leave kibble out and puppies sleep for a large portion of the day.

| It's not unusual for them to be off their food for a few days due to stress. The nutrical might even be what is making her to not have an appetite. I would not give it to her during the day. Just set the food out and if she has not eaten all day then give her nutrical before bed. I give my puppies a small a mount, about a teaspoon of canned pedigree for puppies, both morning and night. They usually jut nibbel at the dry dutiong the day. As they grow and require more food they will eat more of the dry. |
