This was a sure sign for Ellie that she was pregnant. She was 3 weeks or so along before I changed her over to the puppy food. I make sure that she's not getting any other supplements. I made the mistake with another bitch by giving her nutri-cal every day. She ended up needing a c-section because her uterus wouldn't contract. The vet told me that dogs are not like humans, they don't need vitamins while they are pregnant because it will interfere with the natural way of labor. I haven't given any supplements to Ellie except when she wouldn't eat. Then I gave her just a tiny tiny bit of nutri-cal. We are still waiting for her to go into labor, she's due any minute now. |
