My sick yorky

Question
Hi, I brought home my yorky poodie puppy (2 month old) on 28/8 and suddenly shes not eating and looks lethargic. Shes usually very energetic but now she just finds a corner and stays put. No other symptoms that I can see; eyes, tongue and gums look fine. What do you think is wrong?

Answer
Jeneil,

There are several reasons that she could be acting this way.  If she is not eating much but she is eating and drinking then it could be separation anxiety.  Separation anxiety can affect them for up to a week after you bring them home.  However, if she was playful and eating for a couple of days after you brought her home and is now not eating and lethargic, you need to take her to the vet because I think it is probably a physical problem.  It is always better to err on the side of caution rather than take chances.
