Hi everyone i was wondering if anybody has any ideas what i can feed my 4 week pregnant cavalier as she's gone off her usual food. I 've been told to put her on a puppy food but shes not entertaining that either. Shes alot more interested when i mix in something a little tastier like some cooked ham but i don't really want to do this for long. I've also added some scrambled egg and rice at certain intervals and she eats better but not great. This is been goin on for over a week now and I am considering a vet visit. Thanks

Mine was exactly the same from 4 weeks she is nearly 7 weeks gone now and hardly eats her food but she is very interested in ours lol. Typical

Its very common,

just keep trying to vary it and give her what she will eat.

Have you tried chicken or mince? Pop loved these but try and get puupy food down her too.

Thank you for your replies xx Its nice to hear its not just lottie thats gone off her food. I have tried eggs /chicken but not mince so I will try that but she is havin a scan tomorrow so once i've determined she is pregnant i can phone up my vet and get some ideas from him too but thanks again- really reasuring comments xx

Newbie here too!
Our girl was the same and we tried every food imaginable I was beside myself with worry and was about to arrange a vet visit but decided to try Royal Canin Convalesence diet which is a tinned food and Bingo! she loved it and a few days later she went on a puppy complete food.

I have had a chat with the vet and he said I could try science plan just to get her back to eating but she has been having some iams (dry) but i'm goin to have to get her on puppy food if she is expecting. She s having her scan today so thats not long to wait now. When they say puppy food does it matter what sort as it might be easier keeping her on the iams brand now?
Thanks again for all your help

By the way everyone shes expecting 2 pups! We are thrilled !!

Awwww thats fab congrats.... the vet scanner are not that good so don't be surprised if she have more then 2.... sheep scanners are the best

Not really but i'm not sure i'm making it worse by hand feeding her..its like she sits there like the queen expecting me to "Commence with the feeding already!" I just can't help myself. I am off up town today to see if i can get her some tastier food to sample.
And she was scanned with a sheep scanner so i'm quite confident that its right but hay i wouldn't mind another couple of surprises in about a months time Thanks for all your support xx
