| Post-natal care Is there anything special I need to do? How often should I make sure she eats? She is eating like a chow hound. I gave her chicken and noodles tonight and she ate like she's never eaten before. |

Puppy food is high in Calcium and Protein. She will eat alot, nursing burns alot of calories. Also talk to your Vet, they always have great suggestions. Good luck

Living My Yorkie Dream Donating Member | Lexie has been eating up a storm since whelping her 4 pups three weeks ago. Right after she finished giving birth, I gave ther the post-whelping recipie that I found on YT (I believe it's Mardelin's recipie;do a search-you'll probably find it),then there is also a recipie for post whelping pudding. I've been mixing a little of that once or twice a day in with the puppy food I am feeding her. I pretty much keep something in her food dish at all times. It usually doesn't stay in there for very long.

| I mix cottage cheese with dry puppy kibble and my nursing moms always get my cereal milk when I'm done.

| You can ask the vet for some. He gave me some last time but this time I asked him if it was okay to use one of my own calcuim supplements he said it sure is. But you do that and you only give one pill. Not an adult dose. Unless the litter is large she won't need the pill. The cottage cheesse and pudding will be enough. |
