Aiyana
Aiyana has not been eating very good for 2days. She is in heat and I was wondering if that could be why? She will eat her treats if I give her some but not her food.

Yes, being in heat can affect a dog's appetite. I'd be concerned if she doesn't start eating normally pretty soon. Unspayed dogs can get infections in the uterus (pyometra) which is a very serious condition which must be treated by a veterinarian. If you're not planning on breeding Aiyana I would recommend having her spayed.
