Also - feed my pup as soon as he woke up in the morning.
Believe me - food has never been a problem with my Yorkie --other than he hates dog food and wants to eat people food all the time. It obviously tastes better as far as he's concerned. |
I like this advice. Hopefuly it's just temporary depression from mom/litter separation. But it's time for a vet check anyway. It's nice if it only takes a day or two for them to get situated after coming to a permanent home, but some take longer. Best to not stress him out and go to vet.
