Congratulation on your new litter. I have been raising yorkies for 15 years and I know from experience that a good calcium supplement is essential. I use Doc Roy's Healthy Bones from Revival. Pet-cal is also a good one. She should have been started on the calcium as soon as the pups were born. Please talk to your vet and seek advice from him as to what to use. I don't recommend the Tums since they don't have the phosphorus in them.

How big is the mother? It is essential that she eats about 3 or 4 big meals a day. I feel a good quality puppy food is essential. You can add some canned food if she prefers to eat it that way.
