    if you are still seeing these symptoms then your puppy should see your vet. There are many reasons for these kind of symptoms such as...

    intusussuception ( where parts of the intestines get stuck inside each other), parasites, infection, gastritis, overeating.

    This is something your vet will be able to hopefully find the cause of by a physical exam. Young puppies can get sick quite quickly so I never really like to leave them long like this without being seen.

    Until you can get him into the vet you could try him with a little plain chicken baby food to encourage him to eat, but I think he should be seen today by your vet.
