It will take her some time to recover and get back to a good weight. You may want to ask her vet about a critical care diet to get her back eating. This is prescription canned food that is high in calories. Start by feeding her this and slowly mix in puppy food. She does need to get back in puppy food for balanced diet. Be patient and keep offering small, frequent meals and she should start perking back up. She was very sick for at least a week. It takes time to recover back to normal. She will need lots of rest and sleep as she heals too.
