I have a female that was bred 24 days ago. About five days ago she stopped eating her dry dog food. She has the classic signs of morning sickness, she even threw up. She has little or no appetite for dry dog food. This is not my first litter and she is by far the pickiest bitch I have had. This is her first litter. She will not eat dry dog food. If I mix anything into it, like chicken broth, she will drink the broth and leave the food. I have tried cottage cheese and she will spit the dry food off to the side. She will eat canned dog food, cottage cheese, eggs, high protein dog treats, but she will not eat dry food. My sister is a dog groomer and gave me several free samples of dry dog food but she has no interest in different brands either. With my other females, the morning sickness only lasted a few days and then they would scarf down anything you put in front of them.
I also took her temperature and it is normal. She has had normal energy level and has not lost weight. She was a little heavier before I did the breeding. It is getting frustrating trying to get her to eat dry dog food. Any suggestions, I do have an ultrasound scheduled for next week. I have not tried tripe yet or high protein diets. Any suggestions, I am starting to feel like a short order cook.

Don't even get me started on the smell! Good luck!
