Oh yeah! Whelping pudding. I thought it was for whelping and since the vet told me the puppies wouldn't be born before May 20th, I didn't get around to making it before the puppies were born. I don't know if it will help now? She eats well. There is dry puppy food out all the time, plus I feed her canned Chicken Soup for puppies and she gets her calcium supplement.
