Too much honey, however, will depress the appetite. If the puppy does not eat after these methods have been tried, you might try warming the food. Many foods are coated with an outside flavor layer that enhances it s appeal when warmed. Most foods can be warmed in the microwave, oven, or by adding warm water or broth and soaking the food for a few minutes. Notify the clinic if your puppy does not eat within 8-12 hours.
Rest is very important to the puppy.
Puppies generally sleep throughout the day, waking only to play for a short time, eat, and eliminate waste. Do not expect the puppy to run and play all day. A human baby does not play all day either. Treat your puppy just the same as if it was a newborn infant being brought home from the hospital, and you won t go wrong.
