Hello, congratulations on your future puppies. It may be indicative of the changes she is undergoing from her pregnancy. It may also be a sign that she could be a little stressed or that she may have gotten into something she was not supposed to (new food, trash, table food, etc.). At this time, you should continue to monitor her at home, if you see any changes in her appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or a painful abdomen, then you should have Misty evaluated immediately. Hope this helps and best of luck.
