My 4.5-5lb Yorkie female is expecting end of march and I want to be fully prepared!! I am giving her innova as puppy food. Are there any other foods to give a pregnant female Yorkie?? I was reading scrambled eggs, rice, chicken?

I went to the vet yesterday and the vet said she is doing fine and we will find out how many pups she has in two weeks. The doctor says she thinks she sees 3, but it is hard to tell at this time. She bred with my 6lb male Yorkie and it was unexpected x.x. They were staying at my parents house while my husband and I were gone and Bella went into heat. She is two years old and we were possibly thinking about breeding her because we have friends who want Yorkies. However, we were unsure because Bella is so small and we are worried she wont make the pregnancy. So we want to make her as HEALTHY as possible. Money is not an issue- so if we need to spend a bunch of money on healthy dog food or something that is OK. Bella is our baby and we want to make sure we can do what we can to make the pregnancy as easy as it can be and less stressful for her. Any tips would be GREATLY GREATLY appreciated.

We will be having my husbands mother help with the whelping process, as she is a breeder herself for Boxer puppies, but her help will be greatly appreciated.

I was also reading that whelping pudding is good to give pregnant Yorkies as well before AND after? THank you!!
