I know this is a photo thread but hoping to catch all dog folk.
My bitch had a litter on Thursday morning. She hasn’t eaten much at all since her Tuesday night feed. I’ve given her milk, eggs, gravy, meat pouches. Getting a bit concerned for her, her milk production and for the pups
I usually give tinned meat as around whelping I've had bitches that have refused their usual food but this seems to do the trick, (years ago I had one that would bury it under bedding, presumably a throwback to saving food for after birth) if this has been tried and hasnt worked I would agree with the above and get the vet to check her over, could be retained placenta or a dead pup still in there.I know this is a photo thread but hoping to catch all dog folk.

Lovely looking dog and glad you had such a long life with herView attachment 866352
Seeing as she was half of my avatar I thought I would post a photo of my Collie Snooch who we sadly lost two weeks ago aged 15 and 3/4.
I was told her Great Grandfather was Juile Simpson’s Moss who was supreme champion in 1996.
She enjoyed her early career as a really good cattle dog before her comfortable retirement of riding on tractors and keeping her eye on the cattle sheds.
It’s still really hard when you lose your old friend though.
