Plus one tablespoon is not a lot. Thanks.
I add no sugar other than the karo and for 24 ounces of fluid........it's not much.

I usually do a can of goats milk with = parts of distilled water, 1 egg yolk and 1 tablespoon of karo right after they've finished whelping and sometime continue it through their nursing time.

The whelping pudding I give to the pups too when I begin weaning. The other thing I do is give a half tube of benebac at birth (probiotic) and when I begin weaning or anytime I make changes to their diet.
