My Shiba went into heat in late August (another female dog at home was rehomed on Aug 30, unsure if it affects her); since around the 30th she barely eats. She had an accidental mating on Sept 1, and from Sept 4 took dog birth control pills for three days. She still barely eats and is very picky; she ate a few bites today but almost none the next day. What caused this?
Poor eating has physical and psychological causes: hormone-driven appetite loss during heat usually returns after; separation from a long-time companion lowered her mood; the accidental mating may have frightened her. Give a calm environment and favorite foods; if she keeps refusing, rule out infection from mating or other illness at the vet.
