any help or suggestion will be very much appreciated..... we are very worried, if she doesn't eat we cannot eat happily ........ please help

Some dogs can get particular about the flavors of their food.  I would test her to see if she likes peanut butter, cheese, canned unsalted green beans, carrots (some dogs like raw carrots), bananas, and tuna.  Do not test her on any other people foods, as some are bad for dogs.  If you find that one taste that drives her bonkers for more, then begin mixing very small amounts of it into her food, maybe with a bit on top to entice her to eat.  Do not allow her that particular flavor at any other time, so she knows it's coming at mealtime.

I see you are from India?  I am not sure if you are feeding dog food you buy or are cooking it at home.

Do you worm puppies there routinely?  Do the Vets check a dog's stool sample for parasites?  The puppy may need to be wormed.

The fact it has a fever may be of some concern,  did the Vet take any blood to check?

Is there any chance the puppy ate something it should not have eaten?

Why did the Vet give supplements and what are they?

I would be feeding the puppy 3 times a day.  I would stop giving any treats and see if it will start eating meals.

Dogs will sometimes vomit bile because their stomachs are empty and irritated.  You might ask the Vet for something to help settle her stomach and try giving her a small meal before bed and wet food would be better.

The dog may be sensitive to what you are feeding and need a diet change.

Hope the pup gets better.
