I had a puppy that I brought home the first week in January. I got him for a couple of days and it was just like you are describing. Not eating, but would drink, not playing, sleeping alot, only 1 lb, diareah, blood in the diareah, etc. After alot of persistance the Vet finally kept him to run tests and he tested Positive for Giardia, an intestinal parasite. The Vet sent him home the next day and he crashed. We brought him back and they kept him over the weekend to finish giving him his medicine, IV fluids, and force feeding him. Unfortunately when I called Monday morning to pick him up I was told he has passed away at the Vets house during the night. It was heartbreaking for me and my two young children!!! Please have him tested right away. The longer he goes without an apetite the harder it is for him to get his appetite back and they are so little and fragile! I am fighting with the Breeder who is refusing to give me a refund nor a new puppy. Get everything documented just in case, and PLEASE be VERY persistent with the Dr. Even if you need to take him elsewhere. That is my only regret. I didn't have him tested fast enough and too many days had gone by without him eating and he got weak. Then even after he was done with the Medication, it was too late. |
