Today’s question is on dams who refuse to eat when pregnant:

‌“Ok friends, I’m having a REALLY difficult time getting my girl to eat…

I have mixing pumpkin purée, we currently have three different dog foods that I have been trying different combinations of. She was eating Badlands Ranch and Orijen really well, before that it was Royal Canin, but all of these she eventually has stopped eating. I have freeze dried medallions I break up and mix in, I have canned (Royal Canin) I try mixing in…anything to get her to eat. What else can I do to get her to eat?”

In this episode, I talk about:

What is and is not normal as far as loss of appetite and nausea in pregnant dams
Why dams get morning sickness and pickiness about food, and
Suggestions and ideas to get your reluctant dams to eat
