She may either be going through a growth spurt, or she may have low glucose. If she isn't eating at least 3/4th of her normal diet, then I would be concerned about possible low glucose or another neurological condition. Low glucose typically also causes a depressed mentation and sometimes staggering when walking. https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4952329 Its best to take her in to your vet if that is the case, to get her glucose levels checked. You can also offer her some karo syrup (only about 1 tsp) on her gums if her energy seems really low, once every 6 hrs until you can get her in the vet to be seen. Thismay not completely correct low glucose but it can help stabilize her until she can be seen by your vet. I hope that your puppy Mocha feels better soon! Best wishes and take care!
