Welcome to the forum and congrats on your new family member. How many days has Brinley been home with you? Puppies are sometimes too nervous to eat for the first few days when they go to their new homes.
Puppies can also have unusual eating habits, preferring to graze, eat a little at a time, and have human attention while eating. I had to hand feed Max his first year.
Is she eating anything? Karo syrup or Nutrical are recommended for hypoglycemia but are not intended as a preventative for hypoglycemia. Karo or Nutrical should be followed up with a protein within 20 - 30 minutes.
You can try getting her excited about her kibble by doing trick and obedience training using the kibble as rewards. That worked for my boys. We also use kibble for potty rewards.
Try different eating dishes too. I found that my boys prefer to eat off a small plate rather than from a bowl. The porcelain plates vs a stainless steel dish was more appealing to them. Max had an aversion to plastic when he was a pup.
