It sounds like your young puppy is experiencing some very concerning symptoms. When a puppy appears to be skin and bones, is not eating or drinking, and isn't acting like herself, it can be quite serious. These signs might indicate a variety of issues, including infections such as parvovirus, which is particularly common in young puppies, or other significant health conditions.

Given her young age and the symptoms you're observing, it's essential to seek veterinary care immediately. Puppies can become dehydrated very quickly, and their health can decline rapidly without the right intervention. A veterinarian will be able to evaluate her condition, conduct necessary tests, and provide the appropriate treatment to address the underlying problem.

In the meantime, try to keep her comfortable and warm. It's best to avoid forcing her to eat or drink, as this could potentially cause more harm. If she shows any signs of distress or if her condition worsens, make it a priority to get her to a veterinary clinic as soon as possible.

If you have any further questions or need additional guidance, please don't hesitate to ask. Thank you.
