| Pregnant Lola NOT eating anything!No water! Advice! Lola is on Day 50 according to the tie date. two nights ago she threw up late at night. She presumed eating and drinking normally that whole day. This morning my hubby cleaned up a large amount of Diarrhea . I prepared her food and she won't go near it. I went out for an hour and left my oldest daughter with her in the room.I got home and she had vomited again and a little more diarrheah I even tried some peanut butter on my finger and she turned her face. I gave her chicken,rice ,somepuppy food this morning so She is just refusing to eat today. Her waist looks slimmer but her belly is now hanging much lower. I listened to the heartbeats so I know the pups are alive and kicking but I am worried for mom to be. She has a vet appt tomorrow morning at 11 am. I'm going to watch her closely .She has NO fever .If Isee her very lethargic I will call the 24hr Vet 10am Temp 99.9 3pm Temp 98.9 Genie,Cookie,Lola & Angel |

| It could be many things going on with her. Anything from not much room, to possible labor... I would suggest trying to find anything, and I do mean anything cooked chicken hamburger, that she can eat. If she does not eat and does not start labor do not be afraid to syring feed her. This is what my Bridget did, I let her go becasue the vet said it was ok, ended up causing hypocalcimia and a c-section. Try to persuade her to eat anything... even puding she is going to need the calories. Good Luck

| I mixed in 1/2 a beef hotdog in her rice that had crumbled pieces of egg.It was 1/2 cup . She was on my bed and I took a pieceof hotdog on my finger and let her smell it and she turned it away.I let her smell it again and again.Finally she looked annoyed and took the little piece in her mouth and dropped it on the sheets,kept pushing it with her nose and picking it up again. Finally I sawher chew it upo and eat it. I put her in her room with the 1/2cup of food I made her and left her there and prayed she would eat it! She ate it all and went to the waterbowl and started to drink too I kept saying "Thank you God" Thank you! I'm going to wait again like until 9 pm and put another 1/2 cup of food with her. I am doing anything I can to keep those puppies inside her as close to her whelp date as possible! I know she is going to look very skinny after the whelp. I can tell already by looking at her body. I feel the pups like the size of 1/2 a hotdog and they feel like they are in zig zag positions like they are smooshed in there.. know what I mean ? Like this: \ / \ Her Xray appt is tomorrow morning and hopefully I get to know how many pups she is expecting. I'm saying 3 for sure and a 4th small one that its really hard to listen to that heartbeat. |

| Yes I do understand so much. It is hard to when they decide that food is not important. I made meals every night for Bridget, and more often than not she would eat anything I had on my plate, so I alway made extra then offered her it, I think she just liked the idea of table scraps direct from me. Picky little things. I wish you luck!!!
