He's a repro vet. And why I wasn't using Goats Milk when my breeder/mentor had advised me to use it. Smart me, I thought I was being progressive, going with the times....things had evolved. I did google searches and called my breeder/exhibitor friends, everyone uses Goats Milk.
I'd worry about letting her nurse.......The calcium pills I agree with.
Per experience, pups can lap at 3 weeks. I usually let my pups do it whether they are nursing or not. Just to give mom a break.....maybe once a day. |
My vet is also a repro specialist and when we had to supplement Livi's puppies, he also said goats milk. The only thing that we were able to find was the powered form, though....still, that's what we used.
Can't wait to see their pictures!
