My 2-month-old puppy won't eat his kibble. Is he sick or just picky?

Question

i have a two month old puppy that won't eat the kibble we got him. does he not like the foot or is it something else? he also pooped somewhat normally last night. there was a bit of mucus but that's it. he has an appointment with our vet tomorrow (already started vacc. and deworming but first time going to vet w/ us) but i'm concerned about him not wanting to eat. Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Male | unneutered | 1 month and 18 days old | 1lb

Unfortunately, it's impossible to know if Remy's behavior is due to illness or not liking the food. Especially with very small puppies, they need to eat frequently to avoid low blood sugar which can be fatal. I recommend to have Remy examined to be safe. You may also experiment with different types of puppy food (try a mixture of canned and dry). Royal Canin tends to be a good brand and they make a diet for yorkies. You may also talk to the veterinarian about keeping some dextrose or karosyrup on hand in case Remy ever shows any signs of low blood sugar. Best of luck.
