If you are going to switch foods, just make sure you go slowly so she doesn't get an upset tummy from it. |

Have you tried boiling some white meat chicken and giving it to her. Even sick dogs usually eat some chicken breast. Good luck with her, I feel bad for you. |

Have you been talking temps on her? That's why I mentioned the possibility of an incorrect due date. She's going to the vet in the am. But is there any possibility of labor? |
No mention was made about a thermometer. I assumed you have one when you said you have most of the things on the list of other things so I didn't mention it. Do you have one handy? |

But, as mentioned if she is pregnant and the dates are wrong or right. I sometimes have my girls slow down on their eating the last week. I PM'd her some things to watch for that could indicate a quick trip to ER. |

I agree. I was supporting what you said. I use it to get them to eat more. I like that it's solid, east to hold. Canned dog food smells and gets in their coat. This is clean. It's also good with dry food. They love it. |
Mary, I had actually mentioned that (Pepto) in my post but edited it out. I thought to do a quick search and found out it is not recommended for pregnant dogs, which Gracie may be. I found the info at this site.... Drugs That May Or May Not Be Used in Pregnant Dogs |

I've always used canned food to entice, because it is smelly and dogs love smelly. |
Also, here's some more info on Pepto and dogs. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Contraindications/Warnings Not for use in patients hypersensitive (allergic) to it or to aspirin products. Use with caution in animals with bleeding problems like von Willebrand's disease. Do not use in cats as it contains aspirin. Not for use in pregnant or nursing animals. Stool may turn a gray-black or greenish color during treatment. Do not confuse with melena (blood in the stool). May interfere with reading of abdominal x-rays. May cause inaccurate results of urine tests. Shake well before use." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From this site....The Use of Bismuth Subsalicylate (Pepto Bismol) in Pets |
Ok wow.. alot to respond to.. Yes I have taken her temp and its been right around 100. She not panting or crying or anything that makes me think labor is an issue ..shes just not interested in the food Im giving her..My daughter opened a can of tuna and she got all excited and I didnt let her have it because i dont know if that is ok? She seems to be a bit picky. Again I will say she will not touch dry food .. I think its because of her teeth..They look awful and her breath is killer stinky! I do not mind brushing her non stop as long as she enjoys it.. She has no problem with anything I do to her except her mouth and she will NOT leave a bow in her hair for more than five minutes. LOL |
PetzLife Oral Care Spray. You could use this to spray in her mouth. Many pet food stores carry something like this. It's not going to reverse the carries, but it might help to stop further degeneration. It also comes in a gel which you apply with your fingers For pregnant bitches I wouldn't feed tuna, perhaps just some white fish, sole, pickerel etc. Also canned tuna might have a high salt content. If you want to tempt her appetite, perhaps some fresh liver, lightly sauteed, or kidneys. |
