Hey guys !
Just an update- everyone is doing great, the smallest have gained about 9gs since born and the biggest and average is about 15-20 grams, today is day 3 since birth. Have to keep especially close eye on two but other than that they are great!

How often do y'all weigh the pups and what us ideal growth in weight?

Rafael passed all placntas so we are in clear with that, her current diet is about 5 times a day of wet/dry dog food w puppy kibble about a handful, a chicken breast divided into two meals, cottage cheese when shell take it, Which is about a teaspoon or two a day. I can't get her to drink the goats milk egg yolk welping reciepe unless there is icecream in it and I've managed to crush a tum in there too- which I'll feed just the icecream and goats milk Reciepe in a half cup measuring cup 2 maybe 3 times... Going to pick up stuff for the pudding today.

She doesn't like the scrambled egg. And I've got the calcium supp on order. Any other tips on getting her to eat or something else to feed?

She has diarrhea today and I am a little apprehensive because she is kinda wobbly when she finally goes out to restroom. I am keeping an eye out for eclampsia as she has 7 pups. Any advice there? Other than that everything seems great!
