You can try stimulating the puppy's instinct to nurse by gently stroking its mouth and face with your finger. If the puppy still won't feed, you can try using a syringe to express some milk and gently feed it to the puppy. It's important to seek advice from a veterinarian if the puppy continues to have difficulty feeding.

The pup may need to be tube-fed....your Vet can instruct you on what to feed, how to feed (so you don't endanger the pup) and how often to feed.

Why does a chihuahua mother doesn't feel her newborn pup?

Since I think you mean feed I will answer it as such. Really 2 reasons: first being something is wrong with the pup and she knows it. Which means you will need to get puppy formula and bottle feed every 2 hours, defiately take to vet to check. Second being she is young ( I don't know how old your dog is) and does not know what to do. You can try to guide the pup to her teat and get it to latch on, once the pup starts nursing, the hormones released will help the momma dog know what to do.
