Why is my new puppy not drinking water?

I got my new yorkie puppy earlier today. So far she has ate but drank no water. I don't know what to do and am starting to worry. She is 7 weeks old.

she probobly should be dead by now

She might need to be fed through a bottle or straw. Puppies can't lap too well...

Hmmm that is weird, best bet is bring her to the vet:)

she'll drink. 7 weeks is a little young to separate from mom. just keep an eye on her. happy training!

she only likes beer?

try using some spring water and not tap. Mine wont drink tap water.

give it a few days. she has to get used to the new environment. and she'll realize she doesnt really want to go thirsty and will have no other choice.

Don't ask us.talk to a vet or even a physician.

im guessing its a little confused ~~ scared so idkif it doesnt drink for like another day or sotake it to the vetmaybe it just needs to get used to where it is..hmmtry putting some water in the food bowl with the food likesoak the food in waterso that way it drinks

Not sure...is it supposed to have milk? I'd google around to find out what's going on or if it's normal.

When I got my puppy she was a little depressed. She missed your mother and was probably scared of this new environment. Maybe your puppy doesn't know "how" to drink and eat. I'd hope she doesn't rely on her mother for milk in which case I suggest you give her milk, in a bottle if you got one. Then if that does work get her used to it and switch with water. Just let her know that she is supposed to eat and drink that stuff.

dont worry, when they take their first sip, they'll slurp, even though its cruel , push the dogs head into the water so it'll get a taste of it

it is scared and for the next week or so it will miss mommys milk and what not.

Stick the nose in the water and when they lick their lips and taste the water, 9 times outta 10 they will start lapping.

As long as you've made the puppy aware of where the water is (next to the food i hope) you have nothing to worry about. Just make sure she know's where it is. Splash a little around the bowl. Otherwise, she'll drink when she's thirsty.

I wouldn't worry just yet. If you got the puppy earlier today, make sure the water dish was cleaned prior to you filling it for him/her. If it's a plastic dish, they might turn it down if it's got a chemical odor. Make sure the dish is kept out of the sun (you wouldn't want to drink warm water would you?) and I'm sure they'll drink when needed. Good luck with your puppy!

Maybe the puppy is used to being fed milk off the mothers nipple and needs to be weaned into drinking water out of a bowl. You'll probably have to give it a little more time and keep trying to get the puppy to drink until it does. I'm sure once it gets thirsty enough it will be willing drink the water and begin doing it on its's on like normal.

i guess... shes not thirsty.... is her food watery??? like something...if her food is not watery.... i think the puppy is sick... or something.... go and take the puppy to the doctor.... k??? take care of the puppy..........

might have been taken from his mom to soon
