Answer
HI Jesse. You said she can't pee much. It could be a bladder or kidney infection, or worse. Nobody can diagnose this over the internet. She really needs to be seen by a vet, especially because she is so young. The faster you catch something, the easier it is to fix it. I highly suggest getting her to the vet now. Very young puppies can die very quickly. I worry that you say she can't pee well, that she's not drinking, and has no energy. I hope she's ok. Please let me know.
