Puppy Culture Potluck: Ep8 - Morning Sickness in Pregnant Dams

Madcap Radio

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
