I already bought a tiny bottle, I'm waiting til this weekend to go to the health food store and get some Goat's Milk. I also bought some Nutri-Drops, because a lot of people on yorkietalk say it works really well for newborns. I only have two things left to get for my whelping kit: Some plain dental floss and some oral cal plus (or an equivalent calcium supplement --- any recommendations?). |
The goat's milk is just the first ingredient for the formula.

Best of luck. Be sure you have a whelping box, keep mom and babies seperate from all other dogs and children. Also be sure you can keep them warm - never leave a pup on a heating pad directly, it will burn them.
