I would recommend that you have Smokey examined by a vet. It is very unusual for a puppy to go so long without eating. If you aren’t seeing vomiting, then possible causes for the not eating could be a GI obstruction or infection or internal organ disease. The vet may recommend blood work or other testing based on the examination and Smokey’s medical history.
