You've gotten some good advice - although confusing at times I would just like to add that when we got our Mia she was 1pd 10oz @ 10wks old. We had a very rough time with her and it had an affect on her for quite awhile. Mia had several hypoglycemic episodes and one where she had to be hospitalized and put on an IV. I don't want to suggest anything wrong but I do want to say - do whatever you have to do to get her to eat. We had to force feed her for a long time.

There's just a few things that I'd like to stress...

LIMIT play time to a minimum
DO NOT take her out and about
DO NOT allow her to be around any other animals (except your own)
Treat her as a premie
Don't worry so much about the potty training - primary focus is her health
If you must crate her - put an article of your clothing that smells like you in with her
Keep her warm
Pedialyte should be UNFLAVORED
PLAIN yogurt
Keep a jar of baby food on hand (chicken/rice - beef - turkey --- even those little meat sticks)

Take off a few days - she needs you with her - she was taken from her mommy way too soon.

Good Luck & keep us posted!
