Hi Carolyn I think they just start feeling so full that they don't want to eat sometimes. I had one bitch who pregnancy made really sick - not dissimilar to morning sickness her whole pregnancy. I took her to the vet the last 4 weeks everyday to have her hydrated under the skin. Needless to say this was her one and only litter of one :o) Something I found helped was also to syringe pedialyte into their mouth - it provides hydration plus electrolytes. A bitch of my dads is horrible during her pregnancy and would often refuse to eat - I would grind her dry food to a powder than add water and make a thin gruel - using a 50cc syringe I would force feed her. Finally she got so tired of me coming at her with the syringe she started eating :o) There is nothing more frustrating than a dog who won't eat. Good luck - most likely she will start eating after you have spent the required $200 at the vets :o) Barb Hoorman Benchmark Cavaliers - TX ========================================================= "Magic Commands": to stop receiving mail for awhile, click here and send the email: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?body=SET%20CKCS-L%20NOMAIL to start it up gain click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?body=SET%20CKCS-L%20MAIL E-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] for assistance.
