My puppy is separated from her littermate. Will she be sad? Symptoms?

Question

Can a puppy get depressed if you separate from her sister and what are there symptoms? Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Female | 3 months and 8 days old

She may have a little sadness at the loss of her sister, but it should be very temporary (a week would be usual). She may not be her active self; she may even refuse to eat for a day or two. But all puppies need to go off on their own eventually (except in those cases where a breeder keeps two or sells two together). Eva should be just fine.
