My vet says no food, only ice cream for puppy ulcer. Is this right?

Question

My 50 days old labrador puppy has a stomach ulcer.. So vetinarian told me to stop feeding food for 10 days to my puppy and advised me to give only ice cream, glucose powder and water for 10 days to my puppy.... Is this okay because my puppy is too small and it was looking very tired and skinny. Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Female | 1 month and 18 days old

No, this does not sound good at all. I would find it hard to believe a puppy this age would have a stomach ulcer. A puppy this age can go for 10 days without eating. Feeding ice cream or any dairy is not recommended. I really don't know what is going on with her. I suggest you get a second opinion with a different vet.
