My puppy won't eat, gassy, no poop after dewormer. Should I worry?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Boxer | Female | unspayed | 2 months and 3 days old | 25 lbs

Grace is 63days old now and she has suddenly stopped eating though she is very playful and energetic, also she farts. Do I need to be concerned? I fed her deworming medicine this morning if that helps. No poop since then.

It really depends on how many meals she has missed entirely, or if she will take other foods besides her regular stuff if offered. The deworming medicine can upset some animal's GI tract and make them not want to eat. If she hasn't eaten in 24 hours, because she is so small and capable of becoming quickly hypoglycemic, I would recommend taking her in to the vet to be assessed for potential causes of anorexia. If it has only been 8-12 hours, I wouldn't worry just yet. Hope this helps.
