Its not like her at all her nose is wet and cold my daughter said she found a tick on her 2 days ago and she took it off and bathed her with a flee and tick dip and she has been fine up until now.

    If she is otherwise acting normal check her mouth. She should have started teething by now and it may be something as simple as an infected tooth.
    They act normal, but don't like eating or using their mouths for playing.

    Have you tried feeding her in different rooms of the house as well? Something may have scared or startled her making her apprehensive about eating near it.

    Can I please ask why your daughter has a new puppy when she can't afford vet care?

    Keep an eye on her. Id recommend taking her in but since that apparently isn't possible, go in on Monday.
