We use Calsorb with every litter combined with Nutri-drops...If your females calcium levels are too low Oxytocin will not do it's job...When our girls start hard labor, pushing, we always give both Calsorb and Nutri-drops..We will repeat this between pups but we do check heart rates before giving it...Too much calcium and you can send their heart racing too fast...

We also give Calsorb daily to mom until weaning to prevent Eclampsia which I have seen three times...So far we have not had a problem with it again...(knocking on wood)...Calsorb tastes terrible is very bitter and yes we have had mom's throw up or foam at the mouth from the taste of it...I don't like giving it but we feel it is in their best interest...Just wish they would find a way to make it taste better!
