| Thanks for the welcome. This is her second litter. When do I offer the "whelping pudding"? Her temp one hour ago was 98.1. Thanks, Cheryl |

| I have never had to give mine the whelping pudding but I think those that do give it after the puppies are born. I always give a little Nutri-cal during the delivery. Has she started having contractions yet? You might end up being up all night. |

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | I offered it to my TAffy when she was in labor but she did not want it, anothe breeder told me to offer her low sodium chicken broth and she drank it in between contractions, she also took a bit of nutri cal. After the pups were born and she had rested an hour or so she was very hungry and ATE a LOT of the whelping pudding by itself and by dinner time she ate all her kibble mix with the pudding too.. then after the first day, I started giving her cottage cheese with her kibble for breakfast, and kibble and whelping pudding for lunch and before bed.. also she had kibble and fresh water available all the time.. hugs, Carmen in nj |

| She had one contraction that I felt. She's not that uncomfortable or restless yet, but probably in the first stages of dilation. Yes, I might be up tonight. She had some of the whelping pudding, not interested in food. Thanks again for your input and well wishes. I'll keep you posted Cheryl |
