Another trick with a female who has had eclampsia, and is nursing pups, is to cut of the end of a pantyhose, put it around her so the pups can't nurse. Take it off every two hours to let the pups nurse, that way you won't have 4-6 puppies nursing all day long, you have all puppies nursing at once and it helps the mother to build up her calcuim levels between the two hours. I had a Dachshund that had eclampsia, I feed my mothers, dry puppy food with cooked liver, cottage cheese, slices of cheese and a small bowl of goats milk. |
