Juliet isn't eating she is getting really weak. We are taking her into the vet tonight. But it is really wierd because she was doing just fine and now she has just stopped. She still drinks and poops and pees, but wont eat.

She's eating Purina puppy chow been the same bag for a couple weeks now. She ate quite a bit just a little bit ago, but we are still bringing her in tonight to make sure she is ok.

Well that may be part of it. PUrina is a very low quality food. I'd highly suggest you take her off of that and choose a higher quality brand. If you go to Dog Food Analysis - Reviews of kibble you'll be wanting to choose a 4, 5, or 6 star food. Personally I like Taste of the Wild as do many members here, but there are others also.

Good luck hope all is well.

The purina is the only brand we have found that tgey will all eat. We went to vet and it tyrns out she has a bladder infection. Willow still has one from a while ago so they are both on antibiotics.

I agree its a terrible food but that wouldn't stop her from eating it. I'd definitely talk to the vet & see whats going on. Puppies are usually very hungry.

PS if the food is too hard it might be bothering her baby teeth

Just depends on the dog. When I adopted my GSD (who was a puppy then) he wouldn't eat the crummy food the rescue had him on (Dog Chow). When I switched to TOTW he started eating his full portions. My rule of thumb is never say never. Definitely an issue somewhere, changing foods to see if it helped could take place while waiting for the vet appointment was my only point.

Oh good to hear...well not good to hear but glad it's easy to treat...you know what I mean haha. Hope it gets taken care of soon.

To help you may want to add some water to her food so it's not so dry, that should help to get more liquid into her system.

I would definitely suggest a better quality food as well (just in general not due to the UTI).

Good luck hope it resolves itself quickly!
