Topic Dog Boards / Breeding / Nutrition - Day 59
- By Hollybobs [gb] Date 21.09.16 12:36 UTC
Hi all. So we are at day 59 from mating, only one mating. Expecting 3 or 4 pups. My small to medium breed isn't eating much at all. She's not as big as I expected however it is her first litter. Overall she hasn't gained a huge amount but she was very slight of frame for her breed but is very fit. Bit worried that she's looking 'thin' around everywhere apart from her stomach and is sleepy. Obviously to be expected but I'm worried she's not getting enough to give her energy. We are adding some chicken, tuna, or mince to her puppy dry mix. She doesn't seem to want any dry mix what so ever. Any tips? Or is this completely normal & I'm worrying for nothing?

its normal for them to go off food before whelping and they will poop for england to empty their stomachs before whelping.when the pups drop down the spine can sometimes be felt and some look very thin and neglected after birth.some do not eat after whelping and you have to hand feed them for a few days.can i ask y u feeding puppy food?
