I just bought a puggle like a week ago and she ended up getting sick. She is on medicine for 10 days. Yesterday she was eating fine but today she won't eat or drink any water. All's she wants to do is sleep which is fine because she is sick but I am getting worried because she won't eat or drink. I even tried giving her a treat and she won't take it. It's like she doesn't want anything in her mouth. Can someone please help me.

Call the vet immediately. Sounds like she's sick, and suffering.
Go back to the place where you bought her, show them bills you paid for veterinary care and medicine. There should be a minumum number of days where your puggle is guaranteed.
Next time, only buy your pets at animal shelters. You save a life, and, their vet always guarantees health.
Meanwhile, make sure you love and smooch your puggle, to show you love her, and you are beside her, wanting her to heal. Give lots of tender love and care, PLUS veterinary care. Maybe she needs to be diagnosed again.

Has she been checked for Parvo? Even if she wont eat try giving her 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of water or pedialyte every couple of hours. Dogs can go a good while without food it is her not drinking anything thats really bad

I think you should call your Vet right a way. Young pups will quickly dehydrate, it very well could be the meds she is on not agreeing with her. If she were at least taking in water you wouldn't be so worried but not drinking I would call for help to your Vet.

I would definitely talk to your vet.
Your vet would know when it's truly necessary to be concerned about starvation. Depending on how long your dog's been on the medication, it may be the ingredients in the meds that are causing the dog to lose its appetite.

Definitely call your vet. She probably needs fluids and to have her temperature taken.
