Update! Good news everyone, after talking with Zoe's breeder we've decided that she isn't eating as drastically little (compared to what she's supposed to be eating) as I originally thought. We've determined that she should eat about 2 tablespoons of food per meal (3 meals a day). On a good day/meal she'll eat 1/2 - 3/4 of her serving (which was 3 tablespoons, 1/4 cup). As long as she eats one "good" meal a day, and we keep a tiny bit of nutrical in her system, she'll be getting enough to sustain her and keep her from getting sick (at least for now).
So I'm hoping within the next few days she'll get out of this "phase" of hers where food isn't fun or that appealing and she'll be back to eating like a little puppy should! So while she isn't eating as she should, she's eating better than I was fearing she was! I wanted to share that good news with all of you! You've given tons of advice and if anyone is still reading or interested at least now I have a tiny bit of good news to share.
