Answer
pitbull pup won't eat; feeding puppy; puppy will not drink;

Hi Rebecca, Don't worry - they get some fluids from the canned babyfood.  Your baby is just learning how to drink from a bowl .... It can take a few more weeks and you will see results.
Offer a low saucer of water and milk ( a 50:50 ratio) - don't leave down for more than 45 minutes as the milk will go bad at room temp.

Also, give this baby some NuVET puppy vitamin powder each day - Just 1/4 of a teaspoon mixed into the food 1 x per day.... Later on, 1/2 teaspoon ( in about 1 month)
see here:  Holistic and not sold in stores:  need to call in for your small bottle at 20.00 for the 30 count powder bottle.

Tell them you want the NuVET Plus powder for your pup.  They also make a wafer form of the NuVET plus supplement.
LOADS of pitbull pups take NuVet Each day.
