I don't have experience with this so please do some more research on here before taking my advice... From what I've learned, you need to keep some Nutrical on hand. This will help maintain the puppies blood sugar level. Due to their size, it's very important that their blood sugar does not drop too low. If you see her trembling, lethargic, or acting 'weird' in any way, give her a drop or two. I used honey for my baby and it worked really well. You can also try a small amount of peanut butter.
As for daily feedings, you or someone need to be present throughout the entire time she's fed. To ensure that she's actually eating. Keep doing what you've been doing as far as force feeding her. If it doesn't start to improve within the next few days, I'd take her to the vet for a check-up. Better safe than sorry. Your vet may be able to give you some helpful feeding pointers as well.

Good luck with your babygirl. I hope everything works out well. Oh and welcome to YT!

Excellent advice. I would add that putting a few of drops of Karo light syrup in her water will help with regulating her sugar (but don't do this once she is eating regularly). Alternatively, you can rub some on her gums, which will also help stimulate her appetite. How much does your baby weigh, and when was the last time she saw the vet? I would definitely bring her to the vet to be sure she's still healthy and gaining weight. And by the way WELCOME to YT!!!
