Hey Tim, thanks, but it's the puppy who's not eating. He's only the size of a hamster, so it seems like he should be eating frequently, but all he does is sleep. Carol

Carol- The AKC site contains some information- see: http://www.akc.org/breeders/resp_breeding/Articles/careandfeeding2.cfm It does say some dams are anorexic after whelping but that all care should be taken to increase their caloric intake. If she's totally lost appetite then you may need help- the suggestions for diet seem to include diets of cat lactation focus due to high caloric values. I have a friend who is a breeder who might know. I'll email and ask her but she may also be unavailable as she is often at a cabin out of cell range during holidays. You probably have a 24 hour Vet clinic somewhere in the area if you are extremely concerned. Anyhoo, Happy New Year!! Tim _______________________________ Timothy O.

Are any of you puppy people? My chihuahua had a puppy two days ago and I'm frantically trying to figure out how often it should be eating (it seems that it would rather sleep than eat, and that doesn't match what I expected). I realize I'm being completely neurotic and I'm abusing the intent of this list, but I'm really getting anxious and of course my vet's office is closed. If you have no clue, then just delete, but if you have some real information, I'd appreciate it (I've done all kinds of internet searches). Thanks, and I'm sorry to be taking advantage of the list, but it seemed like somewhere in all this collective wisdom might be an answer.
