It sounds like Cubbie is really sick. Breathing fast can be due to a fever (due to infection), an injury, pain or even a problem in the lungs. Any any of those problems can cause a puppy to not eat well and not feel well. Anytime a small puppy is not eating normally, they need medical attention right away. Small puppies can become very sick very quickly because they cannot regulate their blood sugar or temperature normally. I think Cubbie needs to see a vet right away to figure out what is going on and how to treat it. Good luck! I hope that was helpful and that Cubbie feels better soon.
