Wow! 8 babies! That's amazing! I hope everything goes smoothly for you. You are right to be concerned about eclampsia with all those little mouths to feed. My dam (Gellica) was 8 lbs proir to pregnancy (she gained about 2 lbs during) and she had a litter of 4 babies. After 2 weeks, we almost lost her due to this, and had to rush her to the emergency vet. She was eating puppy food, and we were also supplimenting with yogurt and cottage cheese, but she still got it. Please have the vet check her calcium levels regularly. (I wish the vet had told me about this earlier). I wish you good luck! Keep us updated! |
