What should I do if my puppy is listless and won’t eat?
A listless puppy that won't eat is very likely sick, since puppies have weak immunity and a higher risk of infection. Watch for vomiting, diarrhea, a runny nose or coughing, and take the puppy to a vet promptly to rule out distemper or parvovirus. A puppy under one month old may simply have low blood sugar from poor nutrition.
When Can Puppies Be Weaned

See a vet for blood and urine tests if you notice these signs.
