Though Rally never had any loss of appetite, it is supposed to be one of the signs that whelping is near. TC was a picky eater as she got close to her due date eating only raw and snubbing any other food.
Maggii never quit eating up to and including breakfast the day she whelped (and she whelped starting at 11am…ggg), but Mickii and Fatia did....
The loss of appetite has been going on maybe 4-5 days. I changed the brand of food at that time and at first thought she just didn't like the new food. So I switched back to the old brand last night and she barely nibbled it. Today I gave her a spoon of yogurt and some cottage cheese, two things she normally loves, and she barely licked it. I'm not really worried but I will continue to keep a close eye on her.
Poor Bindi! She looks uncomfortable. I'm really excited to hear about the puppies coming. Hopefully for both you and Bindi, it will be soon, smooth, and uncomplicated.

WooooHooooo….more puppies!! Good luck Bindi!! Sending good thoughts and prayers your way.
mine frequently have 'gone off their feed' as time has gotten close.

Yup… sometimes not enough room for food and pups...gggg.... My Maggii on the other hand always made room for food...:D
Hmm, Sugar was eating at about 10:00 am-didn't seem to bother her either.
How's Bindi today?
She's right on time. They will be here soon. 
Prayers that all goes well are welcomed!
Saying prayers and keeping fingers and toes crossed that all goes well and you soon have good puppy news (and pictures) to share.

All prayers and good wishes Robyn and Bindi. Hopefully she doesn't hang in there till your fingernails are gone like sister Sugar.
Prayers on the way
Bindi started having contractions about 11 am and puppy #1 was born at 2:16 pm. It was a hard delivery. The pup was head first but turned sideways and Bindi had a hard time getting it out. The pup is a red girl and she hit the ground running! This little gal is possibly the most vigorous pup I have ever seen. She has done so many laps around the puppy pen that I just started calling her "Lady Nascar". :p
Being a dog breeder can be one of the most rewarding hobbies but at times, it can be one of the saddest. Puppy #2, a tri male, was stillborn at 3:54 pm. He was born breech and Bindi had a rough time getting him out. Puppy #3, a tri female, was stillborn at 5:10 pm. Both puppies had the skin on the top of their heads missing, exposing their skulls. This is a first for me and I'm sure I'm going to have nightmares about it. 
Bindi is exhausted and she is napping with Lady Nascar. Thusfar, Bindi's milk has not come in. Bindi is still rather large so I don't think she is through giving birth. I sincerely hope any remaining pups are alive and healthy but I really just want Bindi (and the pup) to be ok.
I'm so sorry about the two Robyn, but thankfully at least one is okay. That may have been why she was off. Good wishes for the rest on the way.
"Lady Nascar" (No, that name won't "stick" for long)
Oh Robyn….such a bitter sweet day for you. Still sending good thoughts and prayers to you, Bindi and little 'Lady Nascar' (actually I'm calling her Danica in my head--I know that's Indy, but she's just sooo pretty)
Big basenji hugs from Katie and Ty to Bindi,
Dawn
Robyn, we are so sorry about the two stillborn pups. I hope #1 continues to thrive and Bindi does fine. Please continue to keep us informed. Still saying prayers that all goes well….
Pat
Prayers & best wishes that Bindi & the other pups are safe & healthy!
Oh my. Bless Bindi's little heart. I'll be thinking of you all and sending good thoughts your way.
