one thing is for sure we will be monitoring the situation 24/7.

water is fresh and in the room, bed is cosey and she's asleep again now!

we have called her fudge
we have a dried puppy mix food, my other concern is can / should we give her milk ?

thanks again to you all
It would be a good idea to check with the breeder what the puppy was eating and then making a smooth transition to whatever you want to feed the pup. Don't give cow's milk, the lactose content is too high for dogs (unless it is well diluted in water). Give puppy milk (should be able to find at the vet or pet shop)... but this is primarily for nursing (before 7-8 weeks), the puppy food contains all puppys need. For weaning, I prefer soft canned food instead of dry food.
