Question
dog is pregrant and shes not eating what will i do shen is about 3weeks pregrant

Answer
It's not an unusual thing for appetites to change during pregnancy. Put her food down for fifteen minutes morning and night, no additives, no snacks in between. Ignore her when you put it down. She will eat. You CAN add some plain all natural yogurt or cottage cheese to her kibble. But if she slacks off eating that after an initial peak in interest, then you're dealing with manipulation and you should go back to the fifteen minute twice per day no additions schedule. Make sure she is on a good vitamin supplement
Good luck
