I had a litter last night and for breakfast she ate 2 scrambled eggs, for lunch she had boiled chicken breast and inbetween she has has nutrical and the water in the syringe. I also give whelping pudding, although this mom isn't loving it like my others.

Emma is finally doing better she had the babies on the 9th and they have almost DOUBLED their weight the smallest was 5.3 oz and she is now the biggest at 9.2 oz can you believe that. You guys are right she just wanted to be with the puppies today she has spent more time away from them but never gets to far. It was nice to have her back in my lap.
