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?

All is well. 

 

We still haven't let them get to close but have been allowing dog to go into rabbits space to get used to her smell (while rabbit isn't there).

 

They seem to be tolerating each other through an open screen door. So still hopeful.

All normal with the eating. She is a little fussy but she is generally eating well.

Thanks for asking.
