So Precious went in for her c-section yesterday. She had 2 girls and 1 boy. She was fine at the vet its once we got home my "fun" started. Well since Precious had not had anything to eat since sunday night I really wanted her to have a little something to so her sugars didnt get too low. But of course she wanted nothing to do with the food or water. Thank goodness for whelping pudding! A little later since she still wouldnt eat I gave her some scrambled eggs, she tried to inhale it. The pups wanted to nurse but Precious just wanted to stare and lick them. So with my hubbys help we got her to nurse...only at that point her milk hadnt fully come in. So I was also giving them the bottle to make sure the we're getting enough. I slept with Precious last night...I think between 10pm-5am I got an hour of sleep...but thankfully at 4am she ate some puppy food. And her milk came in a little before that. There is still one girl who doesn't latch on well so I have to help her....she is also the smallest so I am still giving her a little of the bottle to be sure and a little nutrical when she doesnt want to feed. I still have to give Precious water from the syringe to make sure she doesn't get dehydrated. I have a question....Precious loves the whelping pudding but I only give her about 2 spoonfuls at a time and I gave it to her twice yesterday. Can too much be bad or should I try to limit it to a certain amount unless critical?

Again my pic is too big so I put it in the album.
