She will probably be fine later on You didn't say whether you got her from a breeder or a private family, but that is much too young to take a puppy or kitten away from its mother. When I was breeding, I never let any of my animals go until at least ten weeks, and twelve was more common. Dogs and cats aren't the same a humans unless you have another one of the species to take care of them. In other words, you can adopt a newborn baby and take care of it, and it won't know the difference, because you're human too. You can't be a real "mother" to an infant dog or cat, and they need that. This applies even if you're a great owner/caretaker. You still aren't a dog, and it's sort of a shock to their system.
My advice would be to cut her down to only three toys, and make sure those toys are size-appropriate. Many small dogs become sort of neurotic if they're overwhelmed with toys. I have tons of toys and still buy new ones for my dogs, but I never keep more than five at a time out. I rotate them ever week. Make sure she's on a high-quality food, not some garbage like Puppy Chow, and give her lots of love. Don't try to force toys on her if she doesn't want anything to do with them, just leave her to do with them what she wants. Take her out to romp around in the yard, and just sit down in the yard with her if that's what she wants to do. She's most likely very scared and confused right now, so she may not try to run around and play immediately. If your vet says she's healthy and that illness is not the reason for her withdrawing, I'd be willing to bet she'll eventually come around.
Warmest wishes,
