 New Mom Won't Eat
My 2 yr Chloe just had puppies, 4 of them. They are 6 days old now and are very healthy and gaining weight. Chloe however won't eat and as a result she has no milk. She would nurse the puppies 24/7 if I let her and refuses to leave them alone even when they are sleeping.
This is her first litter, and I know that this is a fairly common problem. I have tried everything I can think of but she simply refuses to eat. I took her to the vet two days ago and she had an xray, blood tests and was throughly examined and she was in perfect health.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can help her? The puppies are all still gaining, but I don't want that to change, nor do I want the momma to get sick.
Would appreciate any ideas! |
