The doghouse

Puppy is off-colour. Help.

My 5 month old puppy has been off her food all day. She's been unusually sleepy and just not her exuberant self. (I first noticed she was not really herself last night when I put her in her crate.)

She has drunk plenty of water and passed normal stools early this evening.

Does anyone have any advice?

Nothing helpful I'm afraid but I would say if she's still under the weather in the morning then take her to the vets just to be checked.

Hopefully someone will come along who knows a bit more! Hope your girl is better tomorrow!

I have a 6-month old puppy and she has days when she doesn't eat. I have put it down to teething. Have you noticed blood on her chewy toys or bedding? Regarding the sleepy-ness it could be she is just 'calming-down' from the full-on puppy stage.

Thanks sidsgranny and jessicapearson.

She is much brighter today. I took her out for a good play in the park and she ate lots of roast chicken from the treat bag. She still hasn't eaten any kibble but she's not fond of it at the best of times. And she's drinking plenty. I think it is teething related. I'll keep on keeping an eye on her.
