Now, what I am confused about is if it helps expel the placenta, if it is given in late weeks couldn't it lead to a premature labor? I have never used it but am thinking I might go to GNC or the pet store and get some for after whelp. My girl is on day 57. |
hello it is me who posted about the tea, the tea is given to a bitch after whelp do not give it to a bitch while whelping,if help is needed use calcium while whelping but after all the babies are out and you want to help our girl clean up her uterus without the oxy shot give her 1/2 a cup of fresh brew of red rabsberry leaf tea mixed with 1/4 teaspoon of karo syrop, will promote uterus clean up, and will also help with milk production. the Syrop given in smaller doses starting at week 7 of pregnancy helps strengten the utering walls and supposely helps with an easier whelp.
I used the tea with my Jack rusell, when I suspected a retained placenta and she passed it whithin 20 minutes. now that I feel I know a bit more, I been giving my Silkie terrier the syrop since she was 7 weeks, I yet to see results, she is due for an x ray tomorrow, and her first due date is the 22nd. I know natural holistic medicine is not for everyone, I do love the mix of traditional medicine and holistic natural medicine..
I hope this helps you a bit, hopefully Mary will explain more if you need..
