My 11 wk old puppy, Meg, is very, very quiet and doesn't explore in more than a 3 ft radius. I just brought her home today, and I know she's going to take some time to get acclimated, but I want to make sure nothing's wrong. I took her to the vet this morning before taking her home; she's healthy, except she has some sort of a cold or respiratory issue. She hacks about every 30ish min, then is fine. The vet just said that I should keep an eye on the hack and see if it gets better. She has the tiniest little raspy bark. I'm sure she'll develop her real bark later on... right?

Maybe she is still a little intimidated by her new surroundings. She did pee right on her pee pad when I brought her home, then drank a good amt of water, then conked out in her crate with the door open. She hasn't been interested in any food, or even any treats yet, but I read somewhere that sometimes pups will refuse to eat on the first day home. I have food out for her in case she gets hungry.

I just worry that she's TOO quiet! I feel like I could leave her for 20 min and she wouldn't have moved. Is that normal? She seems very content to chill and sleep. Maybe she's just too young to be crazy.

She's also been sleeping for several hours. Normal? How many hrs of sleep per day is too much? At what age do pups not sleep so much?

This is all probably (hopefully) a normal puppy thing, but I'd be grateful if you could all help put my fears to rest, or let me know if you think it's abnormal. THANK YOU!
