I would be worried about a 10 month old puppy not eating. This is obviously abnormal. I suggest you get him to a vet for an examination. Not eating is not a specific sign of any one disease process or illness so therefore there is not much I can recommend. Literally anything can cause inappetence. The most common reasons in a puppy: 1. viral disease (like parvo) 2. intestinal parasites (worms) 3. intestinal blockage 4. bacterial infection You need to get this sorted out before he gets even more sick from not eating. Hope this helps and that Bruno is feeling better soon. Best wishes.
