She's not lethargic, she's up and about and alert.
I noticed her milk supply isn't as it should be. I did do the goats milk recipe and she does drink that up really well. Basically, that's all she really wants.
Is this normal?
Thank you |
5 girls.....I'm jealous. Definately supplement your girl with calcium and supplement the pups. Your girl had a big litter, she's going to need your help. As Woogie Man said, after her eating gets going, let her eat as much as she wants. My girls have a minimum of 5 meals a day, but I leave food available around the clock. I've also had girls that have been picky eaters during the nursing period and I've just had to spoon feed them.
