 eclampsia
Yes, they will be prone to it in future breedings. Some people do not realize how important diet is..no calcuim pills before whelping..that can even cause it.
Lots of calcuim rich food afterwards and lots of food period...I feed my mommies 3 huge meals of chicken, rice, cottage, eggs, veggies and dry all mixed together, plus dry at all times, yohgart and ice cream several times per week also when nursing...if a bitch has a small litter, I am not as concerned. 5 to 6 and I suppliment the pups from birth and mom nursing too..but it takes the drain off her.
Pregnancy is not what is so hard on moms, it is the nursing part...that is why small girls are so risky even with 2 or 3 pups. |
