Tink won't eat 36 days after 1st tie
 

I have been worried and just need some reinsurance that I am doing the right thing. This is her 5th week and she has been fine. Not really showing any signs of pregnancy a bit tired but nothing else. She started about 2 days now not wanting to eat. I've called my mentor and she told me to try some warm gravy just a bit and put that on her food. I did that and she ate!!!

But...now she has figured out all she has to do is lick it off. :rolleyes: She will eat a treat and a baby carrot but refuses her food. I've tried to mix a different food in with hers (puppy Innova) still wont eat it just a bite or two. If anyone has an idea of something I can try let me know. I'm going to try cooking for her tonight and see how that goes. I will be calling the vet Monday and getting his feed back.

Some girls can get down right picky with their food. I might try changing the flavor--same brand. So if you normally feed Lamb and Rice, try Chicken or Turkey and Rice. We usually introduce the DicK van Patton rolls about this time too, and my girls think they are getting treats.

Good luck. Let us know how it goes.

Picky isn't the word. I warmed her food and she ate it like crazy!!:rolleyes: I am going to get the rolls and try those as well. Thanks for your help! So I guess as long as I keep warming it up she'll eat. Such a funny little bug!

sounds like she is preggy.......my girls just get to the point of wanting to be hand fed

Sound like your girl is with whelp. At times they go off food, but usually about the 3rd week....experience morning sickness. They have that whole harmonal thing going on, tummy is a bit upset and their taste buds are a bit off. Don't let her go too long....there is the whelping pudding receipe sticky...try some of that on her, adding a bit of cottage cheese to her food or a sprinkle of parmasean cheese...I recently had two girls go off food from the time they came into "Season" until well after the pups were whelped...talk about a nightmare...attempting to find what they would eat and then spoon feeding them......

if she gets rediculosly pinicty she may like missys preggers snack- a little pate mixed with chicken and rice (fed on a spork if nessesary). sometimes though, they like being hand fed just because they know we love them that darn much!!
it deos work, for missy at least, she Never eats out of a dog bowl when in season!

Thanks so much for giving me info about the rolls. I got them for Tink today and crumbled some up in with her food. She licked the bowl! Thank you thank you thank you!:thumbup:

Glad she liked them. They are a hit in our house as well.

my girl will not eat either
 

Everyone I've been reading this feed and it has been so helpful. My Lola is not eating either. She is about 24 days into her pregnancy (is she is pregnant) No other signs. She has stoped eating anything that remines her of dog food. I was fixing her chicken livers and mixing it with canned puppy food and she ate that for about a week but not has become picky about that. She did get car sick the other day which is unusual for her.

Where can I find the "wheling pudding receipe" " Dick Van Patton Rolls" and "Preggers Snacks??" This is my first pregnant girl. So I am very excited, but very scared that I 'm going to miss something important along the way. I have been preparing for this for 3 years. Researching everything about yorkies. I have two spayed girls which I also got for breeding but chickened out because I became so attached to them I didn't want to take the chance of anything happening to them. My third girl was breed 24 days ago. Not sure if she is really pregnant or not but it is still fun experience . It is real funny one of my spayed females is faking her a pregnancy to get all the attention that Lola is getting. Thanks for all the information. Being a part of such a supportive group is great and very helpful.

She is more than likely with whelp, morning sickness and going off food for a period of time is at times a sign, especially with the first litter. Just don't let her go to long with eating. You will become a master chef during this period and after she has the puppies. Thinking of every concotion to entice her.

Whelping pudding recipe can be found as a Sticky in the breeding section. Cottage Cheese, Cheese a bit of yogurt....sprinkling Parmasean over her food, warming her food....all these things you should try. Oh! scrambled eggs....

Just found the whelping pudding receipe. Thanks Mary

Thanks Mardelin> I will try the sprinkled cheese on food and eggs. She has liked eggs in the passed. I totally forgot she would eat eggs. I will get the pudding ready and try that. Thanks again I will keep you posted.

I bought Dyne to help my girl with extra calories when she wouldn't eat.

I got the Dick Van Patton Rolls at Petsmart in the pet food isle.

It's so funny...Levi to is acting like HE is pregnant too just to get the rolls! When I make Tinks food now he turns in circles over and over. Boy are the furbutts smart or what.:rolleyes:
