My dog Bella just gave birth April 16th this year. She had complications giving birth. The one she was able to push out was one that was stillborn. She was able to push one more out and it was healthy after that she wouldn't push. We took her to the vet to have a c-section but sadly the 5 other puppies were gone.
Now after a month she hasn't eaten since Tuesday April 3. We have tried dog food, chicken, anything else we could think of but she still won't eat. She also has been nipping at her pup, my family, my other dog. She ate 3 bites of canned chicken and threw it up. We are taking her to the vet Saturday if she won't eat by then. Any recommendations as to what's happening or any other of your pups experiencing this? If they have what did you do?
This is too long a period of time for your dog to go without eating.
does she drink water? If she drinks water you might try diluted chicken broth until you go to your vet tomorrow.
I believe it is essential that you take her to the vet ASAP as she has to be in a very weakened state and being in this condition makes her very susceptible to other health problems.
Here is a link from the American Kennel Club about how to deal with this problem.

This is not an uncommon problem. Some of these answers may help deal with her after her vet visit.

My toy Yorkie just had pups on Oct 16th, but they both died. Does anyone know how I can help her? She is looking for her pups and is not eating.
