So, I brought Maggie to the vet today to check on her pups! The vet said everything was fine and we are going to be expecting 4 pups. He also told me to make sure that I was giving her puppy food and CALCUIM!!! I also asked him about to eclampsia that yall all talk about on here and he said that NO WAY! That calcuim was to prevent pre-eclampsia. And to treat your dog as though it were a human....in human pregnancy we must eat three suppliments of calcuim a day...I know this cause I am curretly pregnant and this is my second pregnancy. So as I thought, and thank god that I never took Maggie off of her calcuim....dogs are always suppose to have puppy food and calcuim when they are pregnant!
