Why is my puppy not eating much food? Could teething be the cause?

Question

My puppy has been on metronidazole for a few weeks now. Emergency told us to use it for 10 days but her diarrhea came back so our vet said finish it up & prescribed royal canin hydrolyzed protein right now she's only eating bland boiled chicken. When on metronidazole her poop is normal but she doesn't go for days. Is it normal for her not wanting to eat her food? She will eat and drink and she's playful but she won't finish its just a few bites at a time. Can teething be a cause because she is? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 6 months and 20 days old | 10.6 lbs

Hi there and thanks for your question about snowball. It's good to know she is eating- okay if it's just a few bites at a time. If she is teething, then yes, this can cause her to be a little slow when eating her food or not finish it entirely. I'd keep an eye on her eating behavior and take her in to see your veterinarian if she is still reluctant to eat.
