What do you suggest, pumpkin?
Sometimes the stress of having pups will cause the mom to have an outbreak of coccidia if she is a carrier of it or if she ate many afterbirths that could cause stomach upsets. To be safe you might want to have her stool checked. The canned pumpkin mixed with a little karo syrup certainly could not hurt.
