My 3yr old puppy didn't eat all day, till we gave her a little pumpkin, but she acted like she was in pain or discomfort (in her tummy) after she eat. Is there anything we can do to help her? She has also not drank much either. She has not been throwing up though.

This is a quite generic but concerning sign. Differentials are many, from gastrointestinal diseases (infection/inflammations often dietary related) to any disease that can spread systemically (causing lethargy for example) like infection, and anything that can cause pain/discomfort. The approach must be logic, starting from offering different kind of food. A check up is needed if inappetence last for more than 24hours. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
