PLEASE HELP!! Dog not eating when pregnant!!

Help! My dog might be pregnant. It is the 28th day of her maybe being in pregnancy. For the past three days she hasn't eaten ANYTHING. She has occasionally eaten a piece of meat, and if you offer her a glass of water she'll drink some, but I thought it was supposed to increase a dog's appetite when they're pregnant, not decrease! She also hasn't gone to the bathroom at all lately. What is wrong with my poor puppy?

You need to get this dog in to the vet. Pregnant or not, any dog who is not eating for 3 days needs to go to the vet, NOW.

Your dog may have breast cancer because you didn't spay her. She may not be pregnant!! why is she pregnant.

go see a vet and let the vet educate you. then take a trip to a shelter and see the dumped puppies.

Stop that! The only puppies that will get dumped are yours. You keep trying to bring me down, so stop it! And learn how to use capitals!

Just to let everyone know, she's eating normally now. I found out the problem @_@

She didn't like the dog food, she only likes canned now.

Have you been to a kill shelter??? Seen them euthanizing perfectly healty happy loving dogs/puppies/kittens????? You would be singing to a different tune if you watched something like that. Seeing wonderful pets put down to make room for more unwanted dogs... people who take breeding lightly and dont think of the concequences of their actions are the reason this is happening!
Take a look at this video and honestly tell me if it doesnt hurt to see?

Your "poor puppy" should not have been put through this in the first place, but it was her owner's decision, not hers. Woe to shelter puppies and dogs who's homes you are stealing, and woe to the health of your dog.

I have myself gone and adopted pets from the shelter, to save a life only to find out 3 days after adopting a kitten for my daughter that she came from the shelter with feline parvo. after $500 dollars and 3 days on IV at the vet. and seeing the poor baby suffer we had to put her down, not to mention that she has infected my home for any new kittens. thank goodness I have enough sense to have had a orphan cat I found 2 years ago vaccinated, unless he would have gotten sick to. My vet said its sad but these shelters are only spreading disease and he would not recommend getting any animal from the shelter. Its sad that this happens. My daughter was devasted at her loss and I learned a lesson about shelters. I have a 4 year old shih tzu that I got from a friend " a back yard breeder to you mean people here", but she loves her dog and found homes for all her puppies (and good homes too). Homes with love!! We love our baby and and although she has had allergies and bee stings she goes to the vet all the time I wouldnt trade where I got her for the world. Anyone that comes to this site must care about their dog unless they would just leave the dog outside and bury in the backyard of throw her out on the street when she dies. Like ive seen some unhearted people do. So people here should be a little less judgemental and try to help. Isnt that what this site about... why not encourage spaying and all that also in your advice but the sick remarks have to stop ..You are not god! you have no right to judge people.

There is plenty advocacy on this forum for Pro spaying and neutering. I happen to be one of those people. However, the reality is there is only so much we can do to promote responsible ownership. Threads like these are a reminder to ALL of us who have worked in, volunteered or even peered into Shelters to witness the massive wards overcrowded with unwanted pets scheduled to be euthanized because people decided that they wanted to bring more life into this world when all they brought was an onslaught of suffering.

There is no room for mercy here. If it means stepping on some toes for people to comprehend the wastefulness and cruelty of needlessly breeding their dog then so be it. There is a certain amount of experience and information that should be present when breeding animals. Panic stricken threads like these are all to frequent on this forum, and frankly are becoming frightening themselves.

You can lead a horse to the water..
