Many thanks to Cockerlover,Tashabailey,cowanbree,& rysup,for your kind advise.I am comforted by your thoughts and am pleased to let you all know that Missy is once again eating well. I think perhaps it was because of worms the she was off her food.The day she had a wormed tablet ,she was fasted for 24hrs and next day she came looking for food.I was remiss in not worming her before mating.I have not had this problem before only with bitches not eating after whelping.I had a couple that would only eat chicken necks and Nutragel for the first few weeks after whelping.Only problem was that the puppies looked like fat little toads.

sorry puggy puggy but this is a Health/Nutrition/ Grooming Forum and I am rather new at this and was rather stressed at the time of entry. Thanks Rysup for you advise.I have had the little bitch back to the vet and there is a possiblity that it might have been worms as I forgot to worm her prior to mating.Apparently ther have been a few cases of hook worm around.She is fasting for 24 hrs and looks to be a bit brighter today.I will feed her tonight and hope she has her appetite back.Fingers and toes crossed!!!

I have a four week pregnant bitch that has gone off her food. Had her to the vet who could not find anything wrong with her.She appears in good health ,has no temperature ,no gastric problem,seems bright and willing to play but will only eat about a spoonful of food.Have tried Nutrigel which helps but she does not eat her usual amount of food.I realise that some bitches have a type of morning sickness but this appears to have gone on for so long.She is a maiden bitch and I have not had this problem before and am at my wits end please can anyone offer some advise on this?
