I wonder if any one else has experienced this before with their cocker when in whelp,
I have a Cocker spaniel bitch Who is in whelp, she has one week to go after this wk end.
I have been trying to step up her food intake and feed her 4 small meals a day but can't get her to eat any thing other then cooked chicken, beef or other meats, egg- and she eats some vetzyme, she turns her nose up at nearly every thing you offer her including brown rice, rice pudding, goats milk, natural yogurt,dog biscuits, complete dog food-(tried bakers,special bitch diets,at the moment trying bakers puppy but having no joy with that!) pedigree finest cuts of meat to try and flavor the dried food, and lots more!
I have never had a dog like it, none of mine have ever been this bad when pregnant with their diet! She came to live with me last year, and her old owners stated that she was a picky eater, even from a pup, but she was never this bad.
She is healthy enough in her self so I am reluctant to take her to the vets.
Is this adequate enough for her daily intake?
Any ideas what I can try as I am worried she is not eating enough to supplement the puppies needs?
