Your puppy is so cute! Try adding some gently warmed low sodium chicken broth to her food to tempt her to eat. You can also offer her some boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts. If she still isn't eating her food in the morning and/or refuses to eat the things I suggested, I would have her seen by a vet. I hope this helps!
