| What Should I Feed My Pregnant Yorkie? I am already feeding my 37 day pregnant yorkie Eukanuba for the Yorkshire Terrier Puppy. She just this past week started to show. I have heard about feeding an egg or cottage cheese? Is this good for them? I have always only fed my yorkies their special dog food. If I can feed this to her how much and how often? I also have heard that too much calcium is not good for them. Any advice as to what I should feed my little girl would be great! I don't take her to the vet until she is on day 45. Also is day 45 ok to do an ultrasound? Is it safe for the unborn puppies? |

BANNED FOR NOT MAILING PRODUCTS PURCHASED | about 2 weeks before Baby gave birth I was feeding her a mixture of boiled chicken, whole grain rice and cottage cheese. When she went into stage 1 labor I was given her whelping pudding. 1/2 cup goats milk 1/2 cup spring water 1 TBS Honey 1 egg yolk 1 cup whole yogurt all Baby's pups are doing great and all have gained weight. Also Baby's coat has stayed very nice, It's not dull looking or breaking. |

| Some may disagree with me...but really Eukanuba is not a good food...personally I think a raw diet and/or a top of the line puppy food like Eagle Pack, Merrick, Canidae, Innova, Wellness, Pro Plan, etc. would be best. |

| Pro Plan (I'm assuming Purina) is not really a premium dog food. Raw food diet..... I've heard alot about C-sections with it. I keep the diet normal up until whelping time. That is, her regular dog food (not puppy, it has increased calcium though not much). I do increase her food about 3 weeks (est.) toward the end. This is just what I do. |

| I was not aware that Eucanuba was not a good food for my yorkies. What I meant to ask is an X-Ray ok to do at 45 days? It won't harm the unborn puppies? |

| Sophie is pregnant! Hi, one of my yorkies is pregnant!! She will be due in about two weeks, I am feeding her an egg every other day and a teaspoon of cottage cheese (daily), then her regular dry food mixed with puppy wet food (daily). Is this okay for her? Please let me know if I'm doing the right thing. Thank you!! Last edited by MiloBabyBoy; 01-18-2009 at 02:14 PM. |
