Puppies on the way....mom too thin Hey all, I am new here and brought here by a need. I have a dog expecting a litter Wed. Oct. 4th. She is very thin, not eating real well, and that worries me. She had a litter before and lost a lot of weight when she was pregnant and nursing. I tries everything to feed her, but she is sooooooo fussy about food!! After the pups were weaned, she gained nicely and had plenty of fat!
Does anyone have a solution for a dog that is sooo picky with food??? How do I get her to eat?? She is a Shih Tzu if that helps. I have offered her ham, oatmeal, raw egg, cooked egg, beef bologna, all mixed with her nutro lamb meal and rice formula puppy food, mixed with a little warm water to make a gravy! Each one separately to add variety of course.
She would only eat a little and then walk away!!
Any suggestions?? Please tell me your story if you have one similar!
