New dog not eating. Suggestions?

Our new 'pup' (10 months) arrived a week ago and is settling in well. She seems happy and has stopped pining for her old family although every now and then there is a bit of wimpering if she can't see where we are. 

 

She is drinking water but she isn't eating. The only thing we have managed to get into her is small bits of BBQ chicken skin (vets idea). That is in 7 days!

 

We called the breeder and apparently her companion (another female her age) also stopped eating but was back on her food by day 4.

 

Is there anything I can do?

Cat - there is a little photo icon above when you are in 'reply' mode (2 to the right of the smiley icons). Hit that and then pick a photo from your files. Easy as. I have no idea how to make the photos smaller though.

 

This is our last pup in 2009. Unfortunately she lived only 2 years as she had a multitude of health problems. Smiley Sad She was very pretty though.

When you click on the icon, it gives you the choice

of small medium,  large or full size.    Large is the one accepted usually.

Cute doggie! Oh those sad hound-dog eyes. But why are they lobster red?
