At 6 weeks of age she should be able to eat and drink on her own. All pups go through a transition stage after leaving their litter mates but true this pup should have staye with the breeder longer. It is their job to see to it that this pup is eating, drinking and is totally independent of its mother before placing it with its new family.
Soak some dry kibble in one parts goats milk or canned evaporated milk to two parts water for a few hours before feeding her. There is no reason why this pup should not be drinking on it own so in order to get her to drink just rub some of the water on her lips and the inside of its mouth to encourage her to drink she'll catch on.
If this is something that was not introduces I can only imagine what else this breeder has not done. I would get her started on a de-worming medication asap and hopefully she is on the road to getting her shots taken care of.
