Question
my 11 week year old teddy bear puppy hasnt been herself today she is very tierd and she has a dry nose which i know is a sign of a fever, but is there anything i can do to help her?

Answer
A dry  nose isn't necessarily a sign of fever. Does she have any other symptoms? how's her eating? Drinking?> sleeping? bowels and urination? If she has no other symptoms just let her sleep. Puppies need a lot of rest. If she hasn't been to a vet for a checkup take her asap. She could need deworming etc. Not knowing her vaccination and deworming history I can't know if it's one of those things. Give me some more specifics and I can more easily help you
