Most dog foods are not what you think, and I have had 100s of puppy's over the years, When you get ready to bred a female you want that female to lean and mean until she is bred, don't change any feeding habits till she id about 5 to 6 weeks in, then start to feed more, and more. Dog will not eat her feed the day she is going to whelp, normally, here again normally she will not eat for a day or so after she has them if she was fed properly, If your female runs out of the box and does not stay laying down with the pups she was not fed right before whelping. go down to the Dollar General and get some chicken and dumpling in a can an heat it up good an hot on the stove and let cool down and give her that, if she will not eat that, there is something going on, keep a eye on her temp and if it is not right, head for a vet. My brother was a Vet for the USDA for 30 years, I had a good teacher..

Everything seems to be back to normal. Thanks for all the comments. This was my first female I've had go 4 days without eating. Vet wasn't very worried but I was. She's the real deal so I didn't want to loose her. I've raise several hundred pups but this was a first for me.

I have had dogs that would not eat when you took them off to a hunt. They would go 3-4 days without eating and be just skin and bones when you got them back home. I had to fatten them up before I left. Some dogs are just weird.

Like I said, everything sounded normally but that female should not look skinny when the pups a first born, and there should not be anything to worry about if the bitch was properly fed prier to whelping and there is no infections
