My puppy won't eat, is skinny, and lethargic. When should I see a vet?

Question

Hi, I’ve got 7 Dobermann x American Staffy pups, I decided I would keep 1 out of the litter and I chose this one and I’ve named him koota. 2 days ago I sold the first pup who i like to say is kootas twin as they are the only two tan pups. Since then Koota has not been his usual self. He doesn’t wanna play he just cuddles up to me. He won’t eat, he hasn’t eaten for two days and his looking really skinny. The parents of pups passed away a few weeks ago. I’m not sure what to do. Please help! Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 13 days old

I recommend having Koota seen by a vet immediately for treatment, as it sounds like his current condition could be life-threatening. There are a number of bacterial, viral and parasitic diseases he may have, particularly since both his parents passed away, presumably from illness, and he is likely dehydrated and probably has dangerously low blood sugar if he hasn't eaten in two days. Please have him seen immediately.
