I have never heard of a dog starving to death that is being offered food 
several times a day, Nadine. 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. Mo
