Thank you for submitting your question regarding Angel. I recommend that she sees a veterinarian today. Her symptoms are worrisome. Puppies should be very playful. She will become dehydrated from not eating and drinking properly. This can occur even with some Pedialyte. She will be examined and a detailed history taken to try to determine the cause of her symptoms. Testing may be recommended depending on these findings. Once a diagnosis can be reached, treatment will be started. I hope this information helps!
