A lack of appetite is usually one of the earliest signs that your dog might be pregnant. Not all females go through this doggie version of morning sickness, but a small percentage of dogs will eat less during the first few weeks of gestation and will usually make up for it later in the pregnancy.
Call your vet if your pregnant dog struggles for over 60 minutes with no puppies produced. If more than four hours pass between the delivery of each pup, you should call your vet. If your dog is in obvious pain or she is beyond 70 days of pregnancy, a vet should be notified. Pregnant dogs can often have a high temperature during and after the birth of her puppies and this is normal. With most dog pregnancies, the dog will do all the work and you can enjoy the recreation of life.
