Congratulations on your nice size litter.....NOW, attention turns to momma....with a large litter, keep a vary close eye on calcium level in mom.....5 babies can drag a momma down quickly, so attention to HER and her care are essential now. Hopefully, during blood work, you have a baseline for her calcium level. If you dont, when you take mom and babies in for their well baby checkup in the several days, you can get a level drawn then so you will know right where you are. I also have a WBC checked on my momma, just watching for any possible little infection that may be brewing someplace. |
