http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/bre...g-recipes.html Make she's eating several meals a day. Also, a scrambled egg a day. Always have food and water available for her. The puppy food is great, if it's a high quality food. No milk homginized milk. Yogurt is good but a teaspoon only. Cheese sprinkled on her meals. Cottage Cheese is good but, not as a replacement for her food.

| Keep on eye on the female......watch for unusual behavior.....eclampsia is is one of a breeders greatest fears. Have your friend order Oral Cal Plus from revivalanimal.com. Here's some info on Eclampsia: To hold eclampsia at bay..... forget everything about giving tums, cottage cheese, cheese, icecream.. etc. It’s useless. The body needs the calcium to be delivered with the correct ratio of Vit D and Phosphorus or it doesn’t absorb it, it’s useless. Pet Cal has this correct ratio. Another thing that has it is, believe it or not.. a scrambled whole egg! Of course everyone knows not to start calcium until the litter is whelped.. no giving it to PG bitches… I do give some calsorb during whelping If things slow down on a larger litter, but never before whelping. Make it a general practice to scramble your bitch an egg every day, and depending on weight, give ½ to a whole pet tab per day. I gave it to a 8 lb bitch ½ in the morning ½ at night…this is the “daily dose” for about a 20 lb dog who was NOT nursing a litter…so just fine for ½ the size, but nursing a litter. I would grind up the pet tab in the food processor and put the powder in the egg when I scrambled it. Also, check your dog food for Soybeans, soy protein, or anything related to soy in any way. For SOME reason that is not completely understood by me (many menopause supplements contain soy, or are soy based, so this seems to be a contradiction).. soy protein can interfere with the absorption of calcium in dogs. If your food has soy of any sort, change to a food that does not for the duration of the weaning of the litter.
