6 weeks is very early to be away from her mother. You say milk...are you feeding her with a bottle. How long have you had her?

She may not be feeling well due to the vaccines. PLeae be very careful that she eats, otherwise a tiny, young baby like you have will have a Hypoglecmic attack, which you could lose her. She needs to drink as well, because can't go long w/o it. SHe will dehydrate quickly . not trying to scare you, just wanting you to be extra careful right now, and to please stay with her , DO not leave her alone.

I agree. Also a 6 week old puppy should be sleeping more than it's playing. Please make sure that she is getting plenty of rest and the food intake that she needs. Feed small amounts - frequently.

I'm not really sure that regular chicken is good to feed her at this age. I think in the Breeders section that they have a recipe for little ones that have not left their Mom's yet. (I'll try to find it) You might try chicken baby food.

Please post back and let us know how she's doing.

She is still just a little baby.. she is going to sleep a lot more than what she would at 12 weeks. Make sure she is drinking plenty of water and eating. As long as she is pooping and peeing and playing..she should be okay. But like the others already said, watch her closely and make sure she is getting plenty to eat throughout the day..when in doubt, call the vet!

when i picked the pup up the lady gave me some powered puppy milk supplement for nursing.said she was licking it out of bowl as mom had not been feeding her. she gave me syringe incase i needed to do that. i picked her up friday night. she would not lick out bowl if i held her close and poured milk in my hand she licked it that way .now she wont drink it at all. i tried th bottle but no way she just fought it. now she is drinking water from dish and eating moistened dry puppy food .she seems to like that after i made a gravy from her baby chicken food and put on it. now she eats it without the chicken on it. is it ok at this age to not get milk if eating puppy food and water. and thanks so much for helping me
