| 3 weeks pregnant and doesnt want to eat I have a 3 week pregnant Yorkie and she started getting picky and will not eat here normal food for one day, I could entice her with steak ,hamburger, now today nothing is good for her she wont eat anything. I bought puppy milk and mix and mixed royal canine new mother wet dog food and been feeding her that by syringe and she will take that I give her about 10-15 tbl spoon every 4 hours..other then that and sleeping more then normal she is going to the bathroom fine ,playing she seems just fine . Any other breeder have this problem of no appetite ? How long did it last . I don't want to wait until she eats because of puppies and I want to make sure they are all nourished |

| Dogs often go of their food around 3 weeks pregnant. So long as it only lasts a day or two. Even if she only eats a bite or two for a few days at that time it is normal. |

| Have you tried a little cottage cheese or a scrambled egg? Usually it is a treat they enjoy , but it is a common sign of pregnancy to be sleepy and have a picky appetite at this stage. Xoxo

| She will drink water on her own no problem and I am able to get her to eat 1/2 of can of high quality canned puppy food and mix a scoop of powder puppy milk a day ,blend it smooth and syringe feed her 3 times a day ..but if I put it in a bowl in front of her she would just turn up her nose . So I know she is eating enough. Otherwise vet says she is fine. this is like day 5 . My question to other breeders is this a common thing for a small yorkie 5 lb . I have been breeding 20 years and always had the opposite problem, the eating like there's no tomorrow!! Or am I spoiling her and let her go hungry for a day ..which is what I would do if she was NOT pregnant..but want to make sure puppies are nourished . Any one with similar situation would love to here what worked for you. |

| If I had a dollar for every thread I have read in the last nine yrs about a newly pregnant dog not eating I would have alot of money. It doesnt last
