She' s 3 yrs. Old and a Biewer Yorkie it's her first litter and my third since my 3 yr. Old Yorkie has had 2 litters and a total of 11 pups. 5 girls in total and 6 boys. Two different pregnancys. She' s a pro! But since this is Oksanas first litter I am very watchfull of her. I hope she gains her appetite. She loves boiled chicken breast! What else can you all recommend I feed her? Your imput will be helpfull. Thanks! Oh and daily I am giving her this supplement GNC High Caloric Multi Vitamin Supplement. Its a tube and its like a paste that tastes like beef.

I hope everything goes well with your girls upcoming litter. You have posted on a thread that is a few years old so that is why you probably did not get any responses. I do hope you start a new thread so we can all follow your girls progress.

It is not that unusual for pregnant mommas to lose their appetite. I think the most important thing to feed them is a good quality puppy food. You can always try adding a little canned food or try soaking the dry food. I don't recommend drastic diet changes if they have been eating well prior to getting pregnant. Just try to entice them to eat by adding a little to their basic diet. I have never used Royal Canine but other good foods are Canidae and Natural Balance. I am not sure what brands are available where you live. Good luck and please keep us posted.
