I would love to know what everyone feeds their new Mama's.
Marlee is normally 5.4lbs, she got up to 8.8 lbs and had a litter of 4, I am worried about her sustaining 5 bodies.
Prior to giving birth, she was eating Nature's Balance dry dog food (Sweet Potato & Bison formula, 'For Puppy to Adult') with a boiled egg in the AM and a cooked chicken liver at night. She got pretty bony feeling, so I bought Wellness One High Performance canned food and mixed it with her egg and chicken. She is not crazy about whelping pudding!
Since Marlee gave birth, I have added a can of Wellness Puppy Formula 1:1 with High Performance and will gradually add more of the Puppy Formula. I then mix it with her dry food. I have been giving her some chicken breast, too.
Puppies are all eating well, and that is a huge relief
Thoughts? Advise?
I appreciate your help!
