    Did you take her for a vet check? I always take my pets for a check soon after adoption. They receive a thorough exam and start their vaccinations. It's a good way to begin.

    What kind of food are you feeding?

    Is it kibble? If so, you may have to water it down a bit. She's still pretty young, and may not be able to eat the dry kibble yet. Try watering it down with warm water, let it sit until it's soft, then give it to her.

    If that doesn't work, you'll want to take her to the vet. A young puppy, especially a small breed, that hasn't eaten for 2 days, can go downhill very quickly.
