Thank you for submitting your question regarding Romeo Lion. I recommend seeking emergency veterinary care for him today. It is abnormal for a puppy to go so long without eating. Being such a young dog, I worry that his blood sugar will drop without eating. The veterinarian will examine him and try to determine why he isn't eating. You can try placing karo syrup on his gums prior to seeking care. I hope this information helps!
