Yes I know of another breeder who has helped me in the past that this happened to a few days after birth. My past litters I never did give anything but vitamins mixed in her wet food. After hearing her story about eclampsia I now give pebbles calcium in the form of milk just to be on the safe side.
She loves the egg in it with the vitamins crushed. She is 5lbs but a small shorter 5lb girl. So to be on the safe side I will continue till the pups are starting to eat on their own.
Thanks again! She means the world to me. So I must do anything to prevent a disaster.
