You really must get him to eat and drink something. If not, he could go into hypoglycemic shock and you could lose him. Try hand feeding him and by this time, since it's been 24 hours since he ate, you should try giving him some karo syrup or nutrical. It's probably due to being in a new home but he simply HAS to eat!! Also, since you just got him, you really need to get him to the vet today. He could have other issues. You can also try moistening his dry food or giving him some canned food. If nothing else, try a little chicken meat or some ham to get him going. This baby has to eat even if you have to force feed him but try your best to coax him to eat. Put him on your lap and try to get him to take something while you hand feed him and call your vet and get him in there. He needs an initial health check anyway but don't wait on that to get him to eat. Leaving a new puppy that isn't eating home alone is not a good idea. I really hope everything works out but this sounds like it could get very bad quickly. keep us posted on his progress.
