Am folosit Google pentru acest răspuns, așa că sper că are sens. Catelul dvs. ar putea avea un palat alungit sau ceva blocat în gură sau esofag care face dificilă mâncarea și băutul. Aș recomanda ca un medic veterinar să examineze gura. I used Google translate for this answer so I hope this makes sense. Your puppy could have a cleft palate or something stuck in the mouth or esophagus that is making it difficult to eat and drink. I would recommend having a veterinarian examine the mouth.
