Bred bitch won't eat

my female that was bred 21 days ago will not eat. I tempt her with reg feed,also with chicken,steak, she refuses all, she does drink water. This happen last time and it was some time before she would eat. I am grinding her feed in a blender and watering it down and force feeding her at this time. Has anyone else had this problem. I have handled 5 breedings and all the females did fine with no lose of appitite except this one.

Is she throwing up after eating? You might try some Pepto Bismol. I just went through this after having pups. I gave 2 cc every hour for about three or four times. See if that helps.

i had this happen myself with 2 bitches i bred recently...this could be related to the pregnancy....the bitch sometimes loses their appetite a bit when the pups/embryos are moving into position to attach to the uterine wall...ithinkthat is how i understood it....try going to powerscourtcockers.com there is a pregnancy timeline on the site that will tell you what is happening during the pregnancy each step of the way....good luck....
my females both started eating again....and are doing well...pups due for both litters next week and the week after...

Hey Joe, Ive been there. Wondering why my bitch wasnt eating, scared and nervous because it was her first litter and not knowing what to expect. I love that calander and you can print it out to keep records for yourself. All the information is there. Im glad all is well. Ive got one litter due the beginning of June and Possibly one at the end. We are gonna be busy. Take care.
