| Take her to a vet. Now. I don't know what you mean by "not eating much" and I'm not very familiar with what a puppy should be eating. But I do know that puppies this young get dehydrated VERY quickly, so prompt medical attention would be advisable.

| not eating Hi I just wanted to adjust my question. She is eating but only like a tablespoon full and taking nutri cal, also she drinks water fine. I think she is still a little immature and was still nursing when I bought her. But i am taking her to the vet today for shots and a check up. |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Welcome and congratulations on your new baby.I hope your vet was able to help you. At 8 weeks she needs to eat small frequent meals. Watch her carefully for signs of hypoglycemia (low sugar). Are you feeding her the same food as the breeder? Maybe the breeder can give you some advice as well.
