   Might look up The Amazing Puppy Wizard's   
   Post "Breakfast At The Puppy Wizard's" for   
   an EXXXCELLENT basic diet.

   NO! Puppies should be kept at 85F.

   NO!!! You better get her checked by the vet FAST!!!   
      
   > Yeah prob dumb questions, oh well.   
      
   REAL DUMB QUESTION. Take her temperature   
   and if it's over 102.5 get her to the emergency vet.   
   OtherWIZE, take her in FIRST THING in the mornin   
   to your own vet if she's still panting.
