Question
Hi we have a shar pei who tied with our male shar pei two weeks ago, she has gone off her food and her heat finshed early, are these a sign of pregnancy ? also if she is pregnant will she need a different diet?

Many thanks for youe help
Pete

Answer
Your bitch may be pregnant, but my bitches, if they are going to, don't go off their food until their 3rd-4th week.

I have never had a bitch whose heat cycle finished early.

If you really want to know if she is pregnant, have your veterinarian do an ultrasound on her around her 28th day.
