| Mommy needs more Milk to feed Puppies? Hi, Angel has had a litter of 7 2 days ago. Went to the fet today and when he checked her, he said she does not have a lot of milk. Thank god I have been bottlefeeding them as well. Is there are any way to increase the milk? He said not really, just make sure she eats. I am terrified of losing a pup due to starving. Any help is appreciated. |

| Usually it takes a couple of days for the milk to come in good. Watch the babies and if thier little tummies don't look rounded after nursing, you may want to supplement them with canned mothers milk replacement. But always let them nurse first. Mommy's milk should increase as the puppies nurse.

| Be sure to give her lots of calcium. 7 puppies place a high demand on her. |
