Another concern you should have right now is your momma. With such a huge litter, she will need a calcuim supplement. You need to take her to the vet in the next day or so for a post whelp exam and a shot of oxxy to clean her out. Ask him for a calcuim supplement. Also continuee to feed her puppy food several times a day. I also mix aa tablespooon of cottage cheese in the morning meal of wet food for calcuim. Then a couple of times a day, I give her this special pudding. It helps her milk to come down. Can you tell if she has milk? If not, go to the liquer store and buy a bottlee of dark beer. Give momma a teaspoon of it and drink the rest yourself. You need it but I was just joking. Give moma a teaspoon of it. It helps her milk come in. One time is all that you give it to her. Here is the pudding recipe I got from a well knowwn breeder. It is much easieer to makee than some others.
Pudding
One large box of vanilla pudding and pie mix (the kind you cook)
4 cups milk
1/2 cup sugar
4 egg yolks (beaten)
Cook slowly until it thickens. Takes about an hour or so to cook it. It will not be real thick. Give her aboput a tablespooon a couple of times a day. This is calcuim rich and helps her milk come down goood too. Good luck |
I still can't believe there are 5
Yes she has milk and I have tried what you suggested....it seems to be working but the wee little one keeps falling off poor thing
My gal has all but refused her dog food this past month I have been feeding her chicken and eggs in between bugging and bugging her to eat her food. I'm gonna try that cottage cheese for sure.
Thanks for the recipe
