They won’t be ready for their second shots yet, probably, if you got their first set recently. I think it’s 8, 12, & 16 weeks, right? As for the not eating, I got my little boy Chihuahua when he was 9 weeks (because an irresponsible breeder had sold him MUCH too young to a home that could not keep him; he’s my second-hand Chihuahua) — anyway, even at 9 weeks, he could not handle eating unless I mashed the food & mixed with formula and fed him by hand. I think very small dogs need to be a little bit older before they are ready for that — 10 to 12 weeks is really much better. Ask her about keeping them for an extra week, so as soon as she gets them back she can take them to the vet for a check up and their second round of shots.
