My new puppy isn't eating, shivering, has stomach noises. Is he sick?

Question

We have had Bentley for just over 24 hours. We weren’t able to immediately see a vet, but we have made an appointment. for now my mind is racing. He has refused to eat but at really quickly this morning, his stomach is making really disgusting wet noises (almost sounds like meowing), he is constantly shivering, and he is constantly hiccuping and sleeping. Could this be the new change in location and the he is now an inside dog? I just want to make sure he gets the best care. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 16 days old | 58 lbs

I am a bit concerned that he is not eating and that his abdomen makes funny noises. He likely has worms (all puppies do), and shivering, hiccuping and lethargy are signs that he is not ok. If he does not improve by tomorrow morning he needs to be seen by your vet right away. Part of this may be due to the change in venue and being taken away from his mommy, new smells etc. Offer him the same food that he received at the place where you got him from. He needs to have either canned or dry complete puppy food for medium breeds. If he deteriorates tonight, you need to take him to a PetER tonight.
