I cook them chicken breast, eggs, whelping pudding, burger, raw madallions, and I also break down only during this time and let them have ceasers puppy food. They do wonderful. And the hand feeding helps alot.

All Livis' activities that you are describing are perfectly normal Tammy. No need to worry.
Thanks Brenda! We do hand feed Livi and you're right, she LOVES it! She has had an upset tummy all day....diarrhea. Do any of your mommas get sick from the diapering?

Livi did eat whelping pudding today and then tonight, I gave her some chicken. My problem is getting her to drink water...she's not doin' it. I do have to use the syringe like you mentioned....even though she hates that.

Positive note, Livi's babies are CHUBBY!!! I mean, CHUB CITY!!
