Question HELP! My new puppy isn't eating...

Hello everyone,
I am new to YT and am so glad I found this site.
I have a Yorkie Male (Teddy) who will be 1 next month and I just got
a new baby girl today!
I am really nervous because she has not eating anything since I picked her up at the airport she's only had water twice.
She is 11 weeks old and weighs 1.7 lbs. I'm not sure if I should try to force feed her with a syringe or what. I tried Nutri cal, chicken, baby food and she won't open her mouth to take any of it. She has gone potty, twice #1 and once #2. all she wants to do is sleep. She really isn't trying to get to know my other dog and it really doesn't help that he gets nervous around her and runs away when she gets near. She doesn't want to play either. She's not weak or anything she does walk around some to hide or go potty.
I know it's been a traumatic day for her because she had a 4 hour drive to the airport and a 4 hour flight to California.
Should I give her more time? Is it normal for her to only want to sleep?

Any suggestions would be great, I am going to take her to the vet tommorow but I hate to spend a lot of money for them just to tell me that she'll be alright once she settles. The breeder took her in on Wednesday and got a clean bill of health from her vet.

Thanks in Advance
