M girls are always very picky- the best thing I've foun to get them to eat is the royal canin 'mini starter- mother and babydog' specifically for pregnant and nursing bitches and weaning puppies...
You could also try adding a doggy gravy to it if she won't eat the food...
And I just read the newer posts on the other thread- since you don't have a mentor, did you know to study both the male and females lines; for temperaments, health, free-whelp ability, size etc? If you didn't find it out before the mating, would you be able to get in touch with both breeders to ask for the info now? I'm sure they wont mind answering your questions!
If there has been a c-section or two needed, it's better to know now Just incase your girl inherited the related issues...
Has she gotten more clingy to you yet?
My missy is due on march 18th and she only started to get a belly this week- and she's had two litters of 6! So a scan is really the only cert for telling; and you know to get an X-ray near the end?
