Prolonged inappaetance in a puppy is a serious concern and can rapdily lead to weight loss and nutritional problems. Please schedule a full health check with your vet to identify the underlying cause and start treatment as appropriate.

    There are many potential causes for diarrhea in puppies including parasites, infections, food intolerances and eating something that irritates the intestinal tract. Since she is so young I would recommend that you have Chula seen by your veterinarian as young puppies are at higher risk for becoming dehydrated with diarrhea. Your veterinarian may examine a stool sample and recommend a bland diet consisting of chicken and rice or lean hamburger and rice
