New pup not doing so well.
I just got a little boxer puppy, 7 months, a little over a week ago. I technically got her from the humane society, but she never reached the shelter, she pretty much went from her old home to mine. She is extremely skinny and at first I thought she was just malnourished, but now I think something else may be up. She seems a little lethargic, has some eye discharge, is finicky about eating, and has vomited several times. She drinks quite a bit of water, so I have wondered if that is the cause of the vomiting, but I am just not experienced with this to even have a clue. I can't tell how much of this is due to her just not being settled yet, as she went from a home with a lot of chaos (something like 5 kids under age 5), to a calm and quiet environment where she gets quite a bit of attention, but a totally different kind of attention, I would think. She got up and ate fine this morning, but just last night she refused to eat, and would only eat yesterday morning after I put tuna on her food. Please help, she can't afford to lose much more weight.
