i have had three litters of five from 4 1/2 lbs and 5 lb girls. the only thing i did was start feeding them wet puppy food after they were bred about three weeks but i do that no matter how many they have. i always have my breeding dogs on dry puppy kibble all the time. Then after the babies are born, I start putting about a tablespoon of cottage cheese in the morning meal of wet food. Then I make a 'whelping pudding' and put that in the last meal of wet food for the day. helps supplement the mama pluss helps her milk supply. At that time, I am leaving dry down all the time and feeding my mama's four or five wet meals a day. PLUS, my vet gives me calcuim supplements to give them until puppies are weaned. Almost forgot to say congratulations. |
