Have you tried soaking some dry food and adding goodies to it like scrambled eggs or boiled chicken and rice. I seems like now her appetite would be picking up. It could be she is eating so much of the other stuff that she does not want her regular food. You might even try adding some soaked dry food to her whelping pudding. |
Yes, the pups stay with mom all the time, except during supplemental feedings, then they go right back in and she licks them clean and off to sleep they go until the next time.
That's a thought…maybe having too much of the there stuff. She did just get up and get a drink of water on her own. She had not touched water since before the c-section and that's why I was pushing so much the milk mix too. I was surprised that she wasn't more enticed to eat by the canned food, which she LOVED during pregnancy. I will try making some new combinations and see what happens.
Thanks!
