Hi there and thanks for posting! If Ethan has been eating normally up to this point and has suddenly stopped eating, there may be a health problem that is causing his inappetence. There can be a lot of different health conditions puppies can get that causes decreased appetite so it would be a good idea to have Ethan seen by his veterinarian soon for an exam so the cause can be determine and he can receive any treatments needed. In the mean time, you can try softening the food and warming it up a bit to bring out the flavor and entice him to eat. If that doesn't seem to help, he should see his veterinarian.
