Yesterday it was in the morning when I tried. I left the cookies and a few kibbles with her all day while I went to work and when I came back she still didnâ??t eat them, sure played with them all day long since they were all over the place!!! LOL I sure agree with what you are saying that the PG sickness can be time related but she doesnâ??t seems to be stable on those timing since this morning, again around the same time I tried yesterday, she did take all the cookies I gave her, a few kibbles, a bit of dry liver and her favourite treat while pregnantâ?¦â?¦.wienersâ?¦.She actually took 5 of them!!!! So I will continue feeding her different time of day!  Thank you so much once again!

PG sickness can be time of day related. She might not eat in the morning but will eat at 1:00 in the afternoon. I had one that would not eat in the evening but stay out of her way at 2 in the afternoon when the rest of the dogs were naping.

Have a great day everyone!

You would be surprised how much better it is accepted on the morning of day 2 or 3. :0) Bitches that are packing huge litters won't eat much at one meal so many small meals work best. I have one for you guys. I have Margo who is 11 years old. If you put too much food in her dish she will not eat any of it. You must be very careful not to give her more than 2 level cups of food. If you do she looks at it and says   ( amazing she can still talk at 11)   I can't eat all that and goes and lays down until you take the offering back to 2 cups. :0) In her prime she weighted 67 pounds and at 11 she weights 67 pounds. She is BPP Beyond Princess Problem...

She survived her first pregnancy and so did the babies. The more you fuss and keep trying new things and even old favorites......the longer she is going to hold off, waiting to see what else your going to pull out of the "magic food box" :-) !! Quietly offer her food and if she eats.......she eats.. When she is ready, she'll chow down, I promise.
