is it normal for a pup to lose it's appetite when teething (only eating half what she normally eats) and how long does teething last for?

can someone please give me some advice,she has hardly eat anything at all the last two days.

Hi,

Puppies' gums can get very sore and they can feel poorly from teething, just like human babies. If you are feeding dry food I would make sure to soak it so it is very mushy. Or try feeding her moist food and see if she is more interested in eating.

If she is otherwise happy and lively I would not worry too much, as long as she is eating, but if you are going to worry anyway you can always take her to the vet for a quick check up :-)

Try not to worry, my puppy is going through the same thing, she has hardly touched anything for a few days now, but will sit and chew on her bones and will also eat her chicken wings, it seem's to be the dry food she isn't keen on. But this is just teething behaviour and nothing to worry about, they will start eating again. The other thing i have done is cut down her meals, just for a short while from 4 to 2, i find that she has eaten a bit more this way, though she still isn't eating up as normal.
