jroberts1 Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 how long have you actually had her home. i know mine is only eating late in the evening cos it's sooo hot, but i would have thought she would drink. do you know how long ago she ate last, she could be missing her mom and sibs, if she doesn't drink by the morning i would take her the vet n get her checked over.

Tim Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 How long have you had her? I know you said today but how many hours? She may have been fed already ...but if this continues def take her to the vet. She could be pining for her mum and her litter mates as Jackie stated.

Removed #5 Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 << tongue in cheek >> enjoy it while you can! Seriously though, if she has food and water available to her then I'd have to agree with Jackie, it's *probably* just all the sudden change. New home, nothing familiar, no "playmates" (does she interact with you at all?). If she hasn't eaten in 24 hours ( a LONG time for a puppy) I'd try to hand feed her something; if she doesn't drink in 24 hours like Jackie says, take her to the vet and make sure she's okay.

BingBlaze n Skyla Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 give her time to settle in - then u will wish she was still quiet lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindavamp666 Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 Timber was like that for the first couple of hours when he came home. We just put water and food where he could see it and then waited for him to go to it and start coming to us. He was pining for the first couple of days with us but now he runs riot here as he knows this is his home and we're his family. If you worried then do take him to the vets as other members have said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
husky princess Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 are there any other symptoms? sounds very odd for a young pup. they dont do well with the heat. due to the age i think i would be seeking vet opinion and getting pup looked over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staceybob Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 we have just got our new siberian husky 10 weeks old today and she is just laying there no eating or drinking is this good if not can some one give us ideas ? Hey any news? Was a little concerned when I read this. If she is acting more lethargic, I'd contact your vet immediately. Other wise give her the option of food and drink and keep a close eye on her.

Staceybob Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 we have put our food so she can see it refreshed her water she just lays down in this spot the guy said she has ate twice today Perhaps she just needs some space to get used to the new area? I'd give her space and keep an eye on her personally. Stacey xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Angel n Auroras Mum Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 has she not had any water? it is very hot. would keep an eye on her for dehydration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marley & Lumikkis Mummy Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 glad shes had something now, im sure its just something to do with her settling in and missing her mum and litter mates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val (Zebedee) Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 it's probably a mixture of new surroundings, sights, smells etc & the heat. She's most likely missing her littermates too. Try putting a damp cold towel down for her to lie on, huskies cool down quickly on their tummies - but like babies, they do sleep a lot when young. If she is hard to rouse or she stops drinking, I would seek advice but in the meantime, keep her cool & lots of water available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Melsom Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 Main thing is to keep the little puppy hydrated ^.^ and even if u have to use a syringe and put water in its mouth closer to the back so they can't really spit it out. And even mix a tiny bit of gatorade or powerade in it (they like berryish flavors)the electrolytes help keep them hydrated even when they are not drinking alot of water. Puppys go thru a little depression/anxiety after leaving their "pack" so sometimes they just wont eat for a couple days even. Are you using the same food it was being fed before u got it ? You should always take a pup to the vet shortly after you get it anyways because you never know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 She's been torn away from everything she has ever known in her short life. Been in a car, (not the most fun things for a puppy. Later will probably love it) taken by strange sounding and smelling people. To a new house that has no familiar places or smells. Give her a couple of days to acclimatise. Yes she'll be off her food. She's scared and doesn't know what other NEW stuff is going to happen. She just wants somewhere dark,warm and quiet. To chill and process all these new experiences. Once she feels a bit safer she'll start to poke around and explore, and her appetite will come back. As the other guys have said, plenty of water, time and patience.

Removed #5 Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Figured she would be as soon as she got over the "new place jitters". Transitions, especially for puppies, tend to be rough. Won't be long before you're asking how to calm her down, lol!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
