I’m so sorry Lilith isn’t feeling herself. Has she had any vomiting or diarrhea? Coughing or sneezing? Has she been vaccinated yet? These are all things I think about with a young puppy not feeling well. I worry about infectious diseases most often at this age, such as parvovirus, distemper, or parasites. They also become dehydrated very quickly. I would highly encourage you to have her evaluated by your veterinarian as soon as possible. In the meantime you might be able to entice her appetite with a small amount of boiled chicken and rice. Best of luck and I hope she is back to normal soon! Thank you for using Pet Coach.
