 diet
Turkey works well also..you can buy it at the store like hamburger...lean hamburger, chicken breasts..all work well..just press out the fat.
AN aid to preventing the stool problem after whelping..start with the mixture. I use boil in bag rice. Whispersmom and I talked about bitch diet many times when she visited.
She makes small packets and heats them in the microwave..it is just easier to make a big batch at once and freeze..as opposed to every day or so.
Right now I would stop the dry and let her gut rest..give her the meat/rice for perhaps two days and then slowly add back the dry. No dry for a couple days will not hurt her at all..it is much harder to digest dry right now.
When a bitch has a firm stool I find adding cottage cheese to the mixture causes no problem..you can get a low fat CC.
I also add a few minced chicken livers..BUT not if the stool is loose..that can be given in the mixture with a firm stooled mom from the outset..best wishes. |
