Advise for my husky, since was 9 weeks she eats only once a day and not much..?

I need somthing for the appetite, i'm trying vitamins, but nothis has change..
Answers:
what are you feeding her? If you are only giving her dry food try mixing it with some moist food. Maybe she is bored with the food. you could also get some of that gravy they sell for dogs to put on the dry kibble.
Your vet will be able to determine whether your husky puppy is underweight. Best to check with him/her WRT how much your dog should be eating for proper nutrition, growth, etc.
At that age, and with that subj.. that's one best for you and your vet to discuss.
she needs to be dewormed
What brand of food do you feed? You should be able to feel the ribs, but she should not look under weight and dogs are not full grown until and around the age you say your husky is she/he should just now grow into her body and start to fill out.
Purina one is just has alot of filler to make them feel full try Chicken soup you can buy it online. Have you tried giving fresh treats like apples, carrots, it alot better for them than vitamians I own and breed boxers and they love fresh treats, you can als cook white rice and mix it into ground beef to add weight along with giving real butter slices (not a whle cube but a few slices a day)
You can try and give her cottage cheese, low salt chicken broth to her food. Even cooked chicken %26 rice would be good. Nutocal supplement is good for getting an appitie. Hope this helps...All the best;~)
If you leave the food out all day, she will eat when she is humgry. We had a huskey for a number of years and that's how he ate. When he was hungry, he ate and when he wasn't, he didn't.
It could also be because of the heat that makes her less hungry. Dogs, like people, don't eat a whole lot in the summer time.
If she is still not eating when the fall comes, check with your vet, but for now, if food is available, she'll eat it when she gets hungry.
maybe it too hot ,for you dog right now, try feeding him at night ,when it cooler, and maybe use a better food, like rice, fish mixed with vitamins,
maybe you need to take him out on long walks ,i bet that will do it ,
Give her a a good exercise to make her more hungry burn some calories. These dogs are working dogs and need a job.
Give her 60-90 minutes of daily exercise.
