Definitely just be patient and don't worry

We are talking about VERY small puppies here. I got my maltipoo LOLA when she was 9 weeks old. The breeder said she was eating solid food and when I got her home she Was!
She was very tiny but eating the tiny dry kibble just fine. I was feeding her Baby Dog Ultra Nutro or something like that.
No problem
UNTIL I took her to the vet to get vaccinated.
After that she wouldn't eat Anything .. uggh!
I had to hand feed her for the next 2 weeks to prevent hypoglycemia. She never experienced an episode because I was diligent.
I tried waiting till she would get very hungry to eat and she still wouldn't eat on her own.
She did well and then one day just started eating.
She is healthy and strong

grew to be 3 lbs 14 oz, just under 4 lbs.
If puppy can be with it's mother .. the longer the better. Especially if it is getting any milk from momma.
