5 month cockerpoo gone off his food.

[Beautiful3]

My puppy has gone off his food. I've tried different food and really mashing it up, also treats. He tried to eat but yelped. Could it be his teeth? 3 fell out a few days ago. Do I need to take him to the vets?

If puppy teeth are falling out it may be that his teeth are really sore.

If you feed him soft/wet food does he eat it?

Apart from that, teenage dogs often have a decrease on their interest in food and get a bit picky. Adding tasty toppers, such as a bit of wet food, a bit of tinned fish or an egg can all help.

Sorry, meant to say that despite all that, taking him to the vet to be sure is always a sensible decision.

@TheyAllFloat thank you for your reply, I appreciate your advice. I'll boil an egg and see how he gets on.

He could be teething.

Have you tried things like frozen carrot to help soothe his gums?

He's managed to eat some tuna in water and a scrambled egg. I'm relieved he is now eating. Thanks @TheyAllFloat. Great idea @adaline I will try a frozen carrot.

Maybe try and look in his mouth incase he has an infection. X
Also if you are not already giving him wet food try this.
Mine went of his food for days when he was a baby wouldn't eat for days.
I gradually changed him over to , Lily's kitchen organic chicken and vegetable bake. nice and gentle. He's been great ever since. X

Thanks @lisag1969 when my husband gets home, I'll get him to help me look inside his mouth. I have put my fingers in and his gums feel very hot, it seems sore at the back on one side. If it seems Infected i will take him to the vets. His food is not cheap as i can only get it from pets at home, but will give the lily's kitchen organic a go (if this continues over the next few days.)
