I have a few questions for all of U that are experienced in breeding more then I am
What is the Calsorb and Nutrical for? I think I used the Nutrical for Tif when she was whelping, it gives them strength don't it?
Nutrical does give them strength and energy during whelping. I usually give them small amounts between puppies. The Calsorb is use to strengthen and help with contractions. I have never used it during whelping but I have it on hand just in case I need it. Calsorb can cause the female to start vomiting.

What is the Karo Syrup for? & how much do you give and how often.
If the mom starts vomiting during labor or prior to labor the Karo syrup (corn syrup) helps settle their stomach. I just add about a teaspoon of karo to 1/2 cup of water and let them drink it or give with a syringe.

And what about the whelping pudding? I know theres' a reciepe for it here somewhere but don't know where. What is it used for? How much and how often do you give it?
I have never used whelping pudding but I have seen it posted on here many times. I will probably try it next time I have a litter.
