Worming medications can upset a young dogs stomach. If she does not eat/drink anything for 36 hours you will have to take her back to the vet. I would suggest offering her some cool green tea to try to encourage her to drink.

This really depends on where you got her from. Many animal shelters are infected with the parvo virus and she was to young to be given the shot to protect her from catching it. Take her to the vet. Either the worming medication isn't working or your poor puppy has parvo. This illness is a fast killer so I wouldn't waste any time with it. Good Luck. Also check the scruff of her neck, if the skin doesn't spring back quickly then the dog is dehydrated and will need an IV.

If the puppy is not eating or drinking, then take her to the vet ASAP. She could be suffering from parvo, a disease in dogs that will cause vomiting and bloody diarrhea. Take her to the vet and let them know how long she hasn't been eating or drinking and if you have noticed any vomiting/diarrhea, and ask them to do a parvo test. If you got her from a pet store, the likely hood of parvo is high, since a lot of pet stores get their puppies from puppy mills.

Take her back to the vet. Either the meds aren't doing their job, or else they are causing other problems for her. Roundworms can kill a puppy if not treated. She could have a blockage. Is it hot where you are? Sometimes animals will stop eating (but usually not drinking) when it is hot.

the most important thing is to take her back to the vet.. the meds may not be right for her and they may put her on something else... at the very least they'll have some sort of suggestion to help her start eating and drinking...

Hi, Go back to the vet, or get a second opinion.

Take her to the vet again for a checkup and then to a dog specialist.
