Question
1.my pug dog she is pragnent 63days she is not giving birth and she is very lazy she is having normal diet what is the problem

Answer

Hi Aditya,

63 days is the average dog pregnancy, sometimes a dog delivers a day or two later. More than that, you should contact your vet and have your dog examined. Of course, if your dog isn't acting right, and you're concerned don't put off waiting to contact the vet.

A pregnant dog needs MORE than it's normal diet! If you've been feeding your dog her normal diet she or the puppies may be malnourished. Allow your dog to eat as much of a good quality puppy food as often as she wants (yes, a puppy food! It's higher in the nutrients she needs). Leave her food bowl full at all times, and always give her access to clean water. When the pups are weaned at around 5 weeks of age, you can transition your dog back to her pre-pregnancy diet.


Best of luck,

Patti
