Puppies not eating and having no energy may be due to environmental changes, stress reactions, weather conditions, gastrointestinal problems, B virus infection and other factors. When you find that your puppy is not eating and has no energy, you should first observe whether it has other abnormal symptoms, then find out the cause as soon as possible and take corresponding measures. If the cause cannot be determined or the symptoms are severe, seek medical treatment promptly. At the same time, in order to prevent similar situations from happening, we should pay attention to providing healthy food to the puppy, regularly deworming, and avoid letting the puppy come into contact with items or environments that may pose a threat to its health.

1. Environmental changes:

If it is a puppy that has just been brought home, it will be very wary when faced with a strange environment and refuse to eat. There is no need to worry about this situation. You will eat proactively as you slowly adapt to the environment.

2. Stress reaction:

Puppies may not eat or be energetic after a stress reaction, such as after taking a bath, after vaccination, or after long-distance transportation. wait.

3. Weather reasons:

When the weather is hot, puppies, like people, may have no appetite for food and lack of energy. At this time, the owner can move the puppy to a cool and ventilated place to rest, and give the puppy plenty of water to drink.

4. Gastrointestinal problems:

The puppy may have eaten something that it should not have eaten, causing gastrointestinal discomfort and thus refusing to eat. In addition, indigestion, intestinal foreign bodies, parasite infection, enteritis, etc. may also cause loss of appetite in puppies. In this case, you need to go to the animal hospital for treatment in time.

Puppies may be infected with viruses, such as canine distemper or parvovirus, resulting in loss of appetite and listlessness. If your dog has symptoms such as fever, sneezing, coughing, diarrhea, vomiting, etc., you need to seek medical attention promptly.
