Topic Dog Boards / Breeding / Bitch 7 weeks in whelp not eating

I have a large breed bitch that is 7 weeks in whelp with around 8 puppies this is her second litter (1st litter 4 puppies). She is not eating her food is picking at anything im giving her. Im feeding her 4 small meals a day, I have tries chicken soup over her food, mixing human food in but nothing.

This may be as simple as not having much room inside for food!   It would bother me, depending on how she is otherwise (nasty discharge?) but cut out all bulk in her food and concentrate on meat - chicken or even white fish.  And I have often found tinned Chappie sorts out non-eaters.  I guess if you are really worried, you need to involve your vet much as I'd try to avoid taking her in (infection!).
