Thank you for submitting your question regarding Bonnie. I recommend that she sees a veterinarian. Being so young, she will easily become dehydrated if she doesn't eat properly. Her veterinarian will examine her and look for signs of illness. Fecal testing may be recommended. Parasites and intestinal infections are common in puppies and cause a low appetite. In the meantime, you can add warm water to her dry kibble to help soften it. Canned puppy food may be enticing as well. I hope this information helps!
