Has anyone ever noticed if some bitches nearing labour when they refuse food will also decide not to drink?

Yes. Try boiling up some liver in a saucepan and offering her the remaining water - liver water.

Thank you

So you have had them refuse to drink just before they go into labour?

Yes. But only shortly before. If this is going on for days it's a big problem as she could get dehydrated - you need to find ways to encourage her to drink.

she drank some liver water and she has drank today she is in the early stages and I am thinkihng they will arrive at some point today xx
