My puppy is lethargic, not eating, and has dark urine. What's wrong?

Question

Hello. My 1-month old female dog was playful before until one day, she never ate food I gave her, and doesn't play with me now. After 1 day, she was drinking milk from her mother but listens to me when I call her, but she still doesn't play with me. Her pee is colored yellow and it is a little dark. What's wrong with her?

Poor girl. Unfortunately her symptoms are very non-specific towards one disease process or another. They are very vague indeed. It sounds like she is having decreased appetite and lethargy. I would have her examined by your vet to gather more clues about her condition. Her vitals need to be checked and she may need additional testing like a fecal exam or bloodwork to get to the underlying problem. She could have a number of things going on including an infection or a congenital defect. I do hope that your puppy is going to be ok moving forward. Best of luck and take care.
