As a former vet tech, I know there are many causes for weight loss. A trip to your vet is the best bet. Good luck!

Before you run off to the vet there are some things to try. Your dog may just be a picky eater or doent like the food. Try putting a teaspoon of maple syrup over her food. This works on her sweet tooth. If she eats this stay with it for a few days. Also at 30 months they are breaking teeth, she may have some mouth pain try soaking the kibble to a soft form. She may want to eat but it hurts to eat. During this period check her stools for blood or color. You can tell a lot about what is wrong with a dog by the color of the stools. See amer technology website under parvo information (I'M not saying she has parvo thats just where the stool chart is located) you can look at this chart and see it theres any immediate concers. If she doent eat within the next few days time to go to the vet.

Off to the vet with you, by the way one worming on a puppy may not solve the whole worm issue and if she is still a fishing dog (comes with her own worms) it needs to be addressed. Hopefully it isnt more serious but a 3 month old dog should be in a big growth stage and not loosing wt. so hi ho hi ho its off to the vet you go!!

Ever heard of a vet ? When one doesn't know what to do with an ailing pet, one takes them to the vet to see what is wrong....DUH...
Yahoo! Answers is not a vet!

I love dogs and this sounds serious...take the puppy to the vet, please. Dont let it suffer. sounds like Parvo to me. take the little guy/girl to the vet.
