?I sent this on Sat nite and I guess it never went through??? so I am sending it again.? Hello, Just wanted to know why so many bitches stop or almost stop eating for a week or so when they are about 3 weeks pregnant.???? Most of my girls are hogs--and Cutie is no exception-but she is now pregnant, I am sure, and for the past week has just been picking at her food both morning and night-and she is usually a very good eater.? I know this is common and usually a sure sign that the bitch IS pregnant--but I want to know, does anyone know WHY they do this??? And does it have any other indications about the pups or health or whatever??? Of course I have been giving her vitamins--and she drinks normal--and if I hand feed her-she will eat some of it-but it is so frustrating when she wont eat all her food.? Tonight for the first time in a week she decided she was hungry and ate all her supper and some yogurt and chewed on a good beef bone---and all of a sudden, tonight, for the first time, I can look at her and say to myself, "She definately does LOOK pregnant now." Any ideas?? Thanks, ? ? Cheri Hunt----Cheradon Shepherds Home of Ch.
