I agree 100%.
I have a lot of trust in my vets.
But they no nothing about breeding as do most vets. Most vets don't know the ins and outs of breeding. They know the general stuff such as gestation, pregnancy, whelping.
However there is a ton of stuff that vets don't know about breeding.
Did you know most vets also say that it safe to use flea medicine on your pregnant dog? When in fact it has been proven that flea medicine on a pregnant dog can cause birth defects.
I really think you should take everyone's advice about not supplementing calcium before the puppies are born, but to each their own.
Good luck to you and your girl.
