FADING PUPPY SYNDROME
Congenital Anomalies 
        When you can not figure out what is wrong and everything checks out normal it may be congenital anomalies (defects at birth)
            1.  There can be a number of problems associated with hormones.  Certain hormones have to be released at intervals and if they do not the puppy dies.
            2.  Sometimes the tube connecting the kidneys to the bladder does not properly form and results in a failure.  This is more male oriented and usually the puppy does not survive past three weeks.  There are no outward visible sign.
