she will eat when shes ready but you can try dry dog food and put a bit of warm dog milk on it! Because they do eat the afterbirth and all that comes out after each pup, most mothers are not hungry for a day or so. Provide food close by and especially lots of water. Keep them in a closed, quiet area for the first week. Make sure your female is drinking within the first day, eating by the second day, and urinating and having bowl movements. The first bowl movements usually come out black or very dark in color. This is because she last ate the after birth which consists of lots of blood. Sometimes you have to force a new mother to leave her babies to eat or go outside to potty. Sometimes you have a female that wants to leave her pups all the time. This can be alleviated by leaving her alone with her pups the first couple of days. No matter how much you want to go in and peek at the pups, hold them, and what not, let the mother bond first.

This is why so many of the breeds with bull dog type heads have such low live birth ratios. It is hard for the mothers to give birth.
What is the typical platy giving birth behavior like?
Platys typically give birth by releasing live baby fish, called fry, rather than laying eggs. During birth, the female platy may become more reclusive and seek out hiding spots to give birth in peace. The process is usually quick and can involve the female giving birth to multiple fry at once. After birth, the female may eat some of the fry, so it's important to provide hiding spots for the newborns to increase their chances of survival.
