Why is my unvaccinated puppy not eating or drinking after class?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 5 lbs

My dog has not been eating or drinking water today. She went to puppy kindergarden and played with other dogs. She does not have all her vaccinations. She ate some food that was there but when she came home she also ate. Today she has not touched her water or food. Her stomach has been growling like crazy. She is not energetic like before.

Oh no, poor Pixie! It's very concerning that she hasn't been eating and drinking as well as not being fully vaccinated. There is alway a chance that she picked up an illness from another dog. When a young puppy isn't eating, it's time to see a vet as soon as possible. If Pixie still isn't eating and drinking by the morning, take her into a vet right away. Tonight, try to tempt her to eat with some boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice.
