I also give Vanilla ice cream to the female between puppies. It is refreshing and also good source of calcium. |
This is what I do also, however my girls eat the vanilla tums like its a treat. I also keep injectable calcium on hand here and calsorb (from revival animal). The calsorb tastes nasty though so they dont like to eat it very easily. I give my girls the post whelping pudding afterwards.
