Your dog is at the end of her pregnancy, and that can cause her to be more tired than usual. It's good that she is eating, and I would be more concerned about her being tired if she wasn't eating. This is normal to be tired, but continue to watch her. If she reaches 69 days of pregnancy with no sign of puppies, take her into a vet immediately. Best of luck, I hope this helps!

Lovely Betty! If she is not interested in food and water just for few hours I wouldn’t be worried. Continue to monitor her and if she looks lethargic, the inappetence continue or she start showing any other symptom (vomiting, diarrhoea, vaginal discharge,...) I would suggest to bring her to the vet. Please post again in the forum if you would like to discuss it further. I hope the answer was helpful.
