We brought home our new husky girl yesterday and she has not eaten yet. We adopted her, so I know she has been through a lot in the past couple of weeks. What can I do to get her to eat something????

how old is she & exactly what are you offering her?

what was the shelter feeding her? are you positive she was eating for them?

is she active? is she drinking?

She is 10 weeks. She is active outside and sleepy inside. She is drinking water, but has no interest in food.

The shelter was feeding her puppy chow, but she still has no interest in it.

try boiling some chicken or hamburg & rice ( seperately ) mix some in with her kibble, a couple tablespoons in a cup.

she should be eating 4 meals a day at this age & I would be concerned that her glucose levels would fall.

of course you can nuke it to speed things up. just make sure you cool it enough for her.

was she ever taken to the vet before you got her? i'm not judging ,just asking.i don't really know too much about parvo but i think depending on long you have had her she might have already had it when you got her.hope all goes well with her and good luck
