My 11-week puppy isn't eating much but drinks a lot. Should I worry?

Question

We have an 11 week old puppy, she has been eating pretty well up until today. She is eating very little here and there but she is also drinking water every chance she gets. Is this something I should be concerned about? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 2 months and 19 days old | 20 lbs

It could just be an off day for Kira, and she may have an upset stomach. Given that she is eating a little bit and still drinking water, I'd keep an eye on her for now. If she stops eating altogether, she keeps eating very little for the next 24 hours, she stops drinking water, she becomes lethargic, or she develops other signs such as vomiting and diarrhea, I would take her into the vet. Best of luck, I hope this helps!
