my girl had 4 puppies and they were decent sized puppies and took a lot out of her. I sort of made up my own recipe to give her the extra calcium she needs and the extra calories so that she could get back her weight faster. Here is an idea, I never really measured but here is an idea,

1/4 cup of full fat yogurt
3-4 tbsp dyne or nutristat
2 tbspn of bone meal
1 cup of premade puppy formula (esbiliac and water mixture)
1 tablespoon of vegitable oil
2 egg yolks

she gained weight fast, I gave her about about 4 ounces in the morning then at night. This was her main diet for three days because she didnt want to eat her normal food. It might be too rich for some dogs, but it worked for us and it gave her the extra calcium she needed. I did this until her puppies were about 4 weeks old and I slowly weaned her off it.
