I have alwways given a little calcuim in foood beofre whelp and had only recently stopped after reading research that said not to. Ruth from Ms. Chif Yorkies has been on the phone with me several times already and she saidd we ALL need to rethink this new research. As for me, I am going back to what works for me and yes, Mary we will be looking at a few things after we have the babies. Thanks everyone. Oh BTw, Bama, althou the tums is not the best in a situation like this, it saved my girls life until I could get to the vet.. Again, thanks everyone. I appreciate your prayers and concern. |
I agree with you 100% that no one method works for everyone and that we should each do what works for us. That doesn't mean that one person is right and another is wrong, it means that each of us have found methods that are right for our specific situation. I also believe that our vets should be a very important part of our decision making -- if we can't trust our vet then we should be looking for a new one.
In a pinch and in an emergency, we do what we have to do until we can get professional help. I am so glad that Ruth was there to lend some moral support and help.
