This can be normal but usually this happens closer to 60-63 days of pregnancy. You could try to offer her some plain boiled chicken (no bones) and rice to see if you can entice her appetite. If not, contact your vet for an exam to ensure there is nothing more serious going on that she may need medications or treatment for. I hope this helps!
