I've given her the whelping mixture for the first few days of nursing. All is well now and she is eating normal. Her first litter was different and I had to feed her soft food and all her fav foods as she wouldn't touch the puppy food. Now she is back to normal and still being a perfect mom.
I just wanted to know what others do and compare. Thanks again. My girl is a crier when picked up and the boy is an angel.
She looses them in the sheets and I had to remove all blankets as she cry's when she can't untangle them. So that problem is fixed.
How long do you give the calcium fortified foods for? |
I keep them on the cottage cheese and boiled egg untill the puppies are 6 weeks and eating some goats milk and baby cereal.
As they puppies grow their demand for milk increases and that is when the mothers can develop eclampsia. So I keep giving it to them, just to be safe.
