Puppies do not normally have issues with indigestion or stomach acid issues. Much more common are bacterial infections, viral infections or parasites. The fact that your puppy has not eaten in 2 days means that it feels poorly. Puppies are this age are fragile and require earlier veterinary intervention. I recommend to have your puppy examined by a veterinarian today since it has not eaten in 2 days so that means low blood sugar and dehydration become more likely. You may try offering a bland diet but it may not help. A bland diet can consist of 25% boiled white meat chicken and 75% boiled white rice. This should all be plain. I hope your puppy starts feeling better quickly. Please feel free to post any additional questions.
