It's very common when pups make a transition to a new home to go off food for a bit. That is one of the reason for keeping pups with their mom and littermates for a minimum of 12 weeks. If a pup is weighing less than 2 pounds they have nothing to fall back on when they go off food. So, many things can happen at this young age. Changing enviornment can provoke bring those things to the surface.

Keep an eye on your pup, make sure he gets plenty of rest, don't take him out to public places until he's completed all his vaccinations. Shots should just be beginning between 8-9 weeks, 2nd and 12 weeks and the 3rd and 16 weeks. Rabies not until 6 or 7 months of age. No Lepto or Corona or Lime, unless those diseases are prevelant in your geographical area. However, Lepto can cause kidney failure in toy breeds and you can lose your puppy.

Good Luck with your pup and may you have many years together.
