Eclampsia can hit anywhere from 3 - 6 weeks. If you have a large litter and work very closely with your Vet, he will give you calcium injections that can be given 3 times a week. At times even then it won't work. But it's a good idea to keep it on hand to administer to moms that have more than 3 in their litter.
