My puppy won't eat, has diarrhea, brother died. What should I do?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

I have a new puppy few months old. Since his brother died 2 days ago I noticed he became lonely and eats poorly. Now he is not eating at all. What should I do to make him eat? I'm afraid he will not make it. And also i notice his stool is watery. Thank you so much.

I recommend to have your puppy examined quickly by the veterinarian. Whatever killed his sibling could be effecting him as well. Parvovirus and poisoning would be on the list of possible causes but you cannot know without testing. Sometimes puppies can make it if they are treated early and aggressively but you have to know whats wrong. Have the puppy examined quickly. Best of luck.
