Just like clockwork, Dixie stopped eating her meals on June 19...one day before the 'Pregnancy Calendar for Dogs' predicted this to occur. Alas, she has been whining, looking very pathetic and even gagging at times. It is so sad...but happily this is a very short stage. Already, just 5 days later, she is looking a little better. She's still not eating much, but she appears to be less miserable.
The 'Pregnancy Calendar for Dogs' chronicles all the events that are taking place inside and out of the expectant dog. June 20-27 states that "Morning sickness might occur due to hormonal changes or stretching and distension of the uterus. Dam may appear a bit apathetic. She may be off her feed for a while and vomit from time to time."
As sad as it is to see our sweet Dixie feeling so pathetic, it is very exciting to have the positive signs that she is indeed expecting puppies!
