Topic Dog Boards / Breeding / Pregnant bitch not eating

Hi,

I've been going through the lists and I have most posts very helpfull!

I have a bitch that was confirmed pregnant by ultrasound on day 30. (saw 2 pups) She is now on day 47 and the last few days she only picks at her food and doesn't eat all of it, or sometimes won't touch any at all. I don't know if it's because she doesn't like what I feed her , she will gobble up eggs, yogurt or treats (dog bone, etc.). Should I be worried or just leave her decide when to eat? Could it be that she reabsorbed the litter? She hasn't got too big yet , we see a small different in her waistline but not much. Any other signs I could look for? She is getting an X-rays done in a few days.

Thank you,
looking forward to hearing for all of you!

Justine

Having been pregnant myself, I'd say trust her - she knows best.

Hi, I agree. If indeed she does have just a couple of pups, if she eats too heartily they may grow too big to deliver easily. As long as she is happy and waggy I wouldn't worry. If you are not already I would divide her food into 2 or 3 small meals.

I wouldn't worry about this Justine. Jasmine went off her food at around week 5 and only picked at her meals. Indulge her and give her what she wants, it won't last forever. :)

Whats the name of your bitch Justine? (Just trying to place who you are as its always nice to put faces to names on here :)

Thanks for all the replies! This morning she ate everything! Strange!! She's never been as happy as this, the tail is always wagging and she woo woo's all the time!

My bitch is Acamute ( Akamute Reg'd Alaskan Malamute in Canada).

Thanks again

Justine
