    7 weeks is pretty young to be leaving the pack. It's illegal in some states to sell puppies under 8 weeks, and this is usually why.

    Has she been to the vet for a once over? Has she been tested or vaccinated for parvo? Parvo is running rampant these days and is the number one puppy killer.

    I would suggest getting her to the vet. A puppy that will not drink can go from bad to worse in the matter of hours. Puppies dehydrate more quickly than an older dog, and this is deadly. Chances are it's parasite related. She could be infested with worms, this will need to be treated asap, by worm medication suitable for such a young pup. Over the counter meds can cause more harm with such a young puppy. It could also be parvo. Is she exhibiting any other signs or symptoms? Vomiting or diarrhea?
