I start with a Tablespoon a day; but if I have a litter of 3 or more on occassion I will give a 2nd Tablespoon at bedtime.....the reason for this is that it can cause a runny stool if your girl isn't use to it.....so, start of slowly
Now keep in mind I alternate with cottage cheese, grated fat free cheese, and the post whelp that I give during and immediately after whelp: Evaporated Milk, equal parts of water, 1 tablespoon of Karo and 1 egg yolk....
and of course a scrambled egg a day.
I know the picky eater thing after whelp, we become master chefs or a cafeteria getting them to eat
