Depressed and concerned Hi: This is my first yorkie post. I just got my puppy yesterday, he is 9weeks old and very sweet, however he is not eatting. Today is day two and he started to have a seizure this morning. I am very concerned about him. He did drink a lot of water yesterday but no food, so I feed his Nutri-Cal, this was recommended by the breeder. I really don't know what else to do. Please help. :confused: THanks, Cindy |
Hi.. I have a brand new 10 wk. old puppy I got on Friday...She wasn't concerned on eating at first either... :rolleyes: It takes encouragement because of the new surroundings. I take Sophie and hold her with some food in the cup of my hand. She likes that... I know..could wind up spoiling her..but she now eats from the bowl and my hand! ;) Good luck to you..keep working with her..and possibly let a vet peek at her too. |

Lots of people feed their puppies Boiled Chicken and Rice AND the Nutrical - but please take him to the vet first if he's seizing - that can be fatal if not treated.....GOOD LUCK |
I can only echo what red98vett says - vet now ! |
I have already lost one yorkie to seasures, dont wait,mine died after 3 seasures and it all strted after not eating for 8 hours,please take baby in RIGHT NOW |
Puppy Has your puppy been to the vet yet? If she is having siezures you should get her there fast. |
Please let us know how your puppy is and what the vet said. Ana xx |

get some pedilite and mix about 1/4 with his water daily (it will help him from dehydration) and try sliced turkey (deli) if he is receptive to turkey mix some into his dry food for a couple days. congrats with your new baby |
Since puppy is new to you he should have his first vet visit within 24-48 hours. Most breeder will pretty much demand this, I know mine did. Nutrical is great but dehydration is very serious and so are the seizures. Like everyone says - Go to the vet!!! good Luck. |
Oh good! So happy to hear you took your puppy in... Keep at it with the feeding..encouraging etc... ;) It really helped me to hand feed Sophie those first few days... Now she is eating all by herself without encouragement.. :) Keep us posted... |
I tried baby food for Chanel when she was tiny - if your puppy isn't eating - what did your vet say about it ? Maybe putting some baby food into a syringe and making SURE it goes down his throat till he learns to eat /or gets past this crises - No puppy should be having seizures without a reason....Did your vet tell you anything else ? Is he moving around normally ? He really REALLY needs to eat and drink or you could lose him..... maybe talk to another vet and see what they say ? |
Update: So I have been finger feeding baby food to Benny and also getting him nutri-cal. He drinks water on his own. He still looks depressed. It's day 3, does anyone know how long this will last? |
You may need to call back to your vet and let him know there is no change :confused: ...Your little puppy should be playful off and on... Our wags its tail and greets us...so happy we are there.. :) Let us know..... |

I'm not saying non-stop playing - though at 10 weeks - mine were playing their butts off...but it sounds like your baby still may not be feeling good ? It can't hurt to make a phone call to another vet and see just see what they say - No more seizures right ? Is your baby lethargic ? If you THINK something is wrong still - your intuition may be telling you something...GOOD LUCK - I really hope he starts perking up ....if it were my puppy - I'd be worried too. |
