Just a bit of unsolicited info, rasberrry tea leaves are great and I do give it to my girls from the time they are bred until pups are weaned. However, you might want to speak to FLDebra on her experience with omitting (it was not done on purpose but not knowing) the POP shot and retained placenta. I strongly believe in POP shots, within 12 to 24 hours after whelping. It assists in shedding of any retained tissue, getting the uterus back into place and the let down of milk. I just make it common practice. But, then I keep oxcytocin on hand and administer it myself.
