Answer
Joanna, if your puppy is only 4 weeks old, it is MUCH too young to have been taken away from its mother!! The reason she's crying is probably because she is hungry and is not yet fully weaned. When puppies are young, the mother licks their genital area to get them to use the bathroom, because they do not yet have the control to go on their own.

I would strongly suggest that you take her back and leave her with her mother for at LEAST another 2-3 weeks!
