Hello. Good evening Dr. I don’t mean to bother you but may I asked? What do you do if a dog, more specifically a pup somewhere around two to three months old becomes very week and doesn’t eat the whole day? I think he might have got food poisoned or something. A friend of mine and I tried to make him stand up, but he just laid back down again. Again, I didn’t mean to bother you. I’m just really worried for the little guy…

It’s really obvious that you don’t follow the blog, or you would have seen 4 posts ago about how some advice simply cannot be given online. You also didn’t read the FAQ, even though the link to ask a question says “please read the FAQ”, because if you had then you would see firstly that it can take weeks to get an answer, but secondly that I cannot give medical advice about a pet over the internet that I have not seen. It’s illegal and unethical, I can’t see it, treat it, or do anything but worry about it which is absolutely unfair.

So you say “I don’t mean to bother you” but you made no avoid bothering me and guess what, you have.

I hope the puppy does okay and I hope you actually pick up a phone to seek immediate, local veterinary advice.

A puppy not eating and being too weak to stand up sounds extremely serious. You need urgent advice from an actual local vet who can actually treat the puppy. 

CALL A VET. Preferably an emergency vet.
