I didn't read any of the responses, but that sounds exactly like what happened to my baby Chip. Chip was 7.5 weeks old and 2.6 lbs. The "breeder" told us he could eat hard food and we tried to get him to eat several times and he would try, but it would fall right out of his mouth. He threw up a total of 10 times and we took him to the vet. He ended up with hypoglycemia from not eating and almost died. On the way to the vet he was laying in the passenger seat shaking all over and his tongue was limply hanging out of his mouth. They gave him some wet food, some medicine, and some nutri cal and he perked up and has been good ever since. Try giving him some wet food... at this point, don't worry about the quality of food... just any wet dog food. I know some people have had luck getting their dogs to eat beneful. Try feeding baby food (check to make sure there is nothing in the ingredients with onion or garlic - VERY important). Feed plain yogurt, or boil some chicken breast (no bones) and white rice - nothing added.
