    Has mom and pups been treated for worms and fleas? Is she still nursing or what food are you feeding her, and how are you preparing it? Have you tried to feed her puppy's milk?

    If she isn't eating, than she is going to need to go back to the vet. JD asks a very good question, is she drinking?

    How long have you had her for?

    What was the breeder feeding her?

    What are you trying to feed her?

    Yikes. You said she's between 6 - 8 weeks old and you've had her for 2 weeks. That means she could have been as young as 4 weeks old when you got her? This "breeder" (and I use the term loosely) should be reported.

    She's still very young and was taken away from mom way too soon. It's time to go back to the vet.

    Where is she sleeping? Is she warm enough? How long has it been since she's eating? Is she drinking? Is she playful, or does she just sleep all the time?

    There's not much we can do to help.

    She needs to go back and see the vet. We asked you very important questions if you could answer some of the things we asked we may be able to better help.

    4 weeks is WAY too young to leave mom, and who ever you got your pup from needs to be reported. How are you preparing the Iams food? Are you giving her only hard food?

    You may want to add some water and make a much out of it, and slowly reduce the amount of water you are adding until she is only on hard food.

    Yikes, I didn't even notice that. She didn't even ask a question, she just responded to ours.

    I'd move it, but I don't know what she's asking because there's no question.

    I'll close it.

    Penelope, if you want an answer to your question please start your own thread, we'll be more than happy to help you there.
