even if your not a fan of R.C, if shes being that picky, i'd give it a try! |
Thank you so much for your reply! I always appreciate the wide variety of advice here. Interesting enough,..I do feed mine Royal Canin. That has been all 4's consistent food and they thrive on it, so that's what really counts when judging a dog food.
Got the bag of RC puppy food for her and ever since she had the pups it's "forget that!" She's had diarreha (vet had me give her Pepto) so I wanted to incorporate some of the hard food...but she's rejecting it all (RC's beauty care, RC's Indoor 27, the puppy food, etc). She will eat some soft Little Ceaser's pup food, but she won't eat any dry. Of course being hand fed chicken breast and her beloved whelping pudding no wonder she doesn't want that dry ole stuff!!! I just don't want her to lose too much weight while nursing like she did the last time (at that time she dropped from 6 # post whelp to 4.5#). and her bowels could use a little firming up. ---
speaking of Pepto --- do you know if it's passing to the pups...? as at least one of them makes the weirdest squelling noise (usually while nursing) --- like when you blow up a balloon and pinch the top and it emits a high shrill noise) --- any ideas about that? can't nail it down to any certain pup - go to check on 'em and they stop. Mama expressed concern initially, but now it's common and she doesn't bother when they are noisy.
I also give her Nutri cal + once a day. Some cottage cheese, not that interested in it.
Thanks again!
