Liver and neuro issues sound much more likely.

I would try to suggest things to feed just until he sees the vet tomorrow, but it sounds like you've tried everything.

Your vet may be talking about a bile acids test to check his liver function. If something is wrong in this area, he may not be eating because food makes these dogs feel sick.
I completely agree. I would have this baby's bile acids checked asap. Call ahead and let them know you want to do this test, bc it will need to be a fasting test. I suggest you get it done just as soon as you can, bc liver issues can be toxic to the brain.

When a puppy (or dog) loses their appetite - that is another reason to see the vet immediately.
