Question
We have a 9wk old male named Rocky.  We only have him Three days.  He will not eat or he will very little.  We have tried dry puppy food (Eukanuba) with water and also dry puppy food with canned puppy food.  He had no interest and seems very sleepy.  He has been checked by the vet and no problems were detected.  We are hoping that his lack of appetite may be attributed to a new environment and that he will eventually become acclamated to his surroundings.  Do you have any suggestions.  He does drink his water and also loves his vitamin

Answer
Alice - can you go and buy some puppy formula - Place about 4 teaspoons of the dry pup food and 4-5 teaspoons of puppy formula in a bowl - let it sit for 10 minutes and then serve it to him.
He may also like to drink up a small bowl of puppy formula.
In 3-4 days he should start to eat more.  He is in shock and misses his mom and litter mates.

Just make sure he gets the formula and he should be fine.
Most pet stores sell the formula or you can buy it for the vet, too.
Good Luck
