puppy will not eat or drink today

we have had our puppy for two weeks and he had his first injections last Tuesday. He is a very sociable dog and full of energy.

Today my daughter slept in a bit longer than usual. the puppy will not eat or drink and just follows her around and sit by her, no jumping up or wanting to do anything.

Really worried

I would check with you vet take him in or give him a call soon, but the no eating and low energy are common side effect for vaccinations but he needs to drink if the puppy has not drank it could led to dehydration it will start when he has not not drank anything for 24 hr if his has not drank anything within the last  24 hr take him to the vet asap.

When you take him on Tue if he does not drink( not eating is fine but he needs to drink)try putting some none sodium chicken broth in his water 2-3 tbs it gives it a little flavor maybe it will get him to drink.Hope he does better this time, best to you and him.
