Feed her a good quality puppy food for German Shepherd dogs. Feed her several times daily, small amounts at a time and more often. Warm up her food, it may make it more attractive. If she still does not gain weight have your vet check her for exocrine pancreas insufficiency. Maybe your vet can recommend a good food for her to gain weight.
