Thank you for submitting your question regarding Lucy. Being so young, I recommend that she sees her veterinarian today. If she is not eating, it will be easy for her to become dehydrated as she likely will not be stimulated to drink as much. If she is experiencing any vomiting or diarrhea this could be the cause of her inappetance. If not, see if she is coughing, sneezing or has any eye or nose discharge. These are all signs of illness in a dog. In the meantime, encourage her to eat as best you can. I hope this information helps!
