My Oral Cal Plus arrived today. Is 1cc just one notch on it? Do I stop with tums if I'm giving this? Tink is also on the antibiotic augmentin which she said is the same as amox but not the pretty yummy pink kind. All the pups now have tails docked, dew claws out. Tinks are getting big at just a little over a week old. I have tried to take on 1 feeding for her but her pups are stubborn. I only have 2 of the 4 that will drink from the bottle. The other two yell at me and refuse to suck. Today Lily got out of the room I have her in for just a second and went after Tink. She is SUPER aggressive. Thankfully I was able to snatch her up before Tink got her. (Tink is one that got c-section).
I had a question. As the pups get bigger and they start to eat more is this more taxing on the moms? I mean seems like a stupid question but they will be feeling stronger after recovering more from birth and does the body start to get use to feeding the pups?
I have noticed that Lily (which she has done this before) will not want to feed the smaller pups. So I did a special feeding just with them on her and took the others out to weigh and chart them. |
