There are many reasons for a dog to go off his food but in a puppy, this can be extremely serious. They get weak and dehydrated very quickly. I suggest you get him to your vet for an exam as soon as possible. Some possible reasons for his symptoms: * parvo virus * distemper virus * intestinal parasites (worms) * dietary indiscretion * foreign body obstruction * congenital organ abnormality * hypoglycemia
