I suppose it COULD be seperation anxiety that's presenting in a strange way. Do you keep the puppy with you through out the day or is he kept alone or outside for large portions of the day?
Not eating is usually a very serious sign in dogs. It's often an indicator of pain or sickness. I would take the puppy to another Vet if I were you. Look for a younger female vet. Someone who finished Vet school in the last say 5 years (as opposed to say 25 years ago). The behavior is abnormal and has pointers to being medical not psychological.
P.S. - Don't be silly. Get the puppy all of his vaccines. It's silly not to.

I have to agree. I have never met a young lab that was not freakishly energetic. The first thing that came to mind was that this puppy was too young to already be away from his mother. They need the mother's milk.
*edit: just re-read OP - does the puppy still suckle when he sees his mom?
