Pregnant and Loosing Weight
My dog is
pregnant and has lost a lot of weight, is this normal
The very
first week after conception a dog may loose weight slightly.
Thereafter, for the entire 63 days of gestation, the dog should gain
weight every day. A pregnant bitch may shift her weight, as her abdomen
and mammaries swell, her back and shoulders appear thinner. If your dog
is truly loosing weight in mid pregnancy, she should see her doctor as
soon as possible. As in humans, dogs may experience a variety of
problems and complications during pregnancy.
