How old is she (just reread I see she is 11 weeks) and how much does she weigh? When I was breeding I always made sure they were eating dry food well before leaving my home. You should always feed the same food she has been eating. If she is only 8 weeks you need to soften the food and warming it enhances the smell and makes them more likely to eat it. I hate to recommend giving chicken (just because she will get spoiled and it will be harder to get her eating dog food), but if she isn't eating at all then do what you have to do. I recently had a pregnant dog go totally off food with morning sickness and wouldn't even eat chicken. Someone suggested I go get canned cat food and what do you know she ate it.

Have you taken her temperature just to make sure she is not ill?

Contact the breeder - they know the puppy best - is it possible to have her spend a little more time with the breeder?
