Question
My 11 months old female lhasa has refused eating since she mated 2 weeks ago, she is withdrawn, sluggish and always sleeping so i assume she is pregnant. My main concern is she refuses to eat, what can i do?

Answer
Hi Bosa

That behavior is very common in a lot of females.  They don't eat for a couple of days, or weeks and then they eat everything.

You can try adding some good quality canned dog food.  Not to much, because the downside is that some female will become picky and eat nothing but canned.

But don't worry keep fresh water on hand and let her pick at her food. She should be back to her old self in no time.

Good luck.
