Sorry for your loss. You will however not accomplish anything by not eating. You may not believe it but getting another puppy might help.

You have my condolences on your loss. But if you won't eat until the pain goes away, I'm sorry to say, you won't be eating for a long time.
I lost my dear Dalmatian last year. He was very ill and had to be put down. He was 13 years, 9 months. He was with me through so much, I still sometimes can't believe he is gone.
I have two new puppies now - they are dear and have helped me heal so much. And I often feel my former pet is guiding me, helping me be a better owner. But as precious as these pups are and as much as I love them, I still terribly miss the one who passed.
This is the curse of the living - we must endure the pain of those who have left us. Don't let anyone tell you that it was "just a dog" or that it's "time to move on". A pet owner will tell you that their pet is far, far more than just a dog, or cat, or bird, or rabbit, or ferret, etc. And we all heal in our own time.
Given that, not eating won't help. It will only contribute to your pain. Instead of refusing to eat and posting here about it (which I find odd), I recommend creating a memorial. If your dog was truly only a pup, you might not have had a long time to bond, but cherish the time you did. Create a memorial filled with pictures, your thoughts, or famous poems. I know this helped me as well.
I wish you the best. And when the time is right, you may consider another dog. But only do this when you are ready to open your heart again. Don't try to replace the one you lost - it's not fair to the dog or to you. Instead, love the new dog for who he or she is. You'll be loved back so much more.
Lastly, I also recommend visiting petloss.com. There's a heavily moderated forum available on that site. It's wonderful - you can express your grief, and be consoled by those who know your pain. Take care!

I'm very sorry for your loss. It's always hard whenever a loved one passes away, but denying yourself food and care will not help to bring your loved one back.
Take your time to grieve, but at least try to have some water until you feel well enough to eat something. I'm sure your puppy would not be happy to see you in so much such pain.
Many people deal with and react differently to the passings of loved ones. Just remember, that somewhere out there, I'm sure that your puppy is looking down on you and wishing you to live a happy and full life yourself.
I usually pick a star and make a wish when someone I know passes. That way, I know they are always looking over my shoulder and smiling.

Hi! I completly sympathize with you. My puppy was put to sleep a couple months ago. I couldn't stop crying for weeks. It doesn't help not to eat. My mom made me a photo album when she died and put her license on a chain so that she would be with me whenever I needed her. It made me cry a lot more when I got it but it helps me remember the good memories. Continueing life as usual helped me. The first day I didn't want to do anything but lie in bed, but I forced myself to go to school the next day. I looked awful and I didn't care. Spend time with some friends. Mine helped me so much. If you have another pet then they should help a lot. If you do some of the things you usually did, then life will slowly start to feel normal again. I am so sorry for you loss but I'm sure that your little baby wouldn't want you to stop eating over it.

I'm really sorry to hear about your puppy, but not eating , is not going to bring him back, and will just create more problems for you. The pain will take time to go away, but in time you will adjust to your puppy not being there. Have you thought of getting another puppy to love. Believe it or not , it helps.

I am so, so sorry for your loss! Now it is time to move on. If you can stand the thought of getting another puppy right now, why not volunteer at a shelter untill you are ready? If you are ready, or think it will help to get a new puppy, consider adoption. Saving a the life of a shelter animal will help to make your puppy's untimely death less painful.

I know exactly how you feel and it is terrible. I just lost my cat a couple of days ago and I went a couple of days without food and lost 5 pounds. You will eat before the pain goes away,just calm down and realize that your puppy is in heaven and is happy. You not eating won't bring him back and you will feel that pain for awhile. It is normal to feel this pain,everyone does.If you are hungey please eat. You will feel better and my heart goes out to you.It is comforting to know that other people are going through the same thing.Please take care of yourself.

i know how u feel. my dog (tippy) got put down 6 months ago and i missed her as u would not believe! a way that i can help u is that let your emotions out! even though life won't be the same, don't take it out on yourself. just go into your room and cry. u will feel soooooooo much better. in fact, i still get sad about tippy all the time. u know what i do? i tell my mom that i miss my dog and she hugs me and we cry together. u still shouldn't take this to the max that u will edventually be to skinny, mabey take this weekend to chill with your fam and have a little talk about your dog and the good times u hade with her. even though it will make u even sadder, u will feel better to get thoughs feeling off your chest. or ask your fam to get a new pet. i know that it won't replace your old pet, but this pet, u can make new memories with. but if they don't want to get a new pet, buy a stuffed animal that looks just like your dog. it may seem weird but the stuff animal will seem just like your pet that you lost. i am soooooooo srry about your dog and i hope my advice will work for you! :-)

Eat! You have to eat to survive. Dying is something natural. Nobody can stay alive forever. Think, your puppy might be happier? If you're a buddhism you will believe this: nothing ever really dies. After they 'die' they will have a new life.
Eat, wish your puppy a better life.

Are you trying to be a attention getter? I know for some losing a pet it is very hard but for someone to say Im not eating till all the pain goes away is crazy and a person who lacks attention.some dont eat because they cant,you are not because you refuse.
