Has she had any other symptoms like pawing her nose a lot or perhaps restlessness? Milk fever would come to mind, but am not entirely sure whether she would not want to eat much over it..... I would suggest if youre not very happy to ask vets advice, just in case. What is she like within herself? How is she going to the toilet? What is she being fed? When did she start to lose her appetite and have you noticed any other changes in her? Sorry for all the Q's, I would just like us to be able to get a bigger picture of what may be wrong.

Thanks for everyone's advice. Everything is fine now and she is eating everything in sight. This will be her 1st and only litter. Thanks again

I am very glad to hear it. What was it in the end which made her not want to eat?

She had a sore mouth with cleaning them she had taken a layer of skin off her lips. You would think she had lipstick on totally pink. Everyone is thriving now. Thank goodness.

Sorry, I haven't been online over Christmas and only just seen this. I would have suggested checking her mouth and if all Ok there see your vet. Thought it might be that - puppy excrement can be quite potent
