But, since this isn't your first litter, I know you have the drill down on what and how often to feed a nursing mom.....

♥Trained by my pups♥ Donating YT 500 Club Member | yes after eating all that after birth mine would be throwing up and diareah. I always try to take that away before she had a chance to eat it. They say it helps but mine did fine without it. I kept puppyfood and some stuff I got from my vet and kept it in front of her at all times. A nursing mom needs to eat a lot when she is feeding pups Congrats and good luck

| Congrats on your beautiful litter. I have a formula that EVERY girl I have ever offered it too has loved it. It is wonderful to get her going until she gets to that really hungry stage. If interested please email me yorkies4ever@juno.com It works great to save babies and to wean them too Sparklingbluyorkies.com |

| Glad all is going so well... You just never know about afterbirths...the vet told me it is instinct because the animal can not always leave the "den" to search for food and it protein... I have had bitches whelp and eat all the afterbirths and not the slightest problem...others needed vet meds after eating one...or none. The more I know about bitches, the less I really can rely 100%...LOL |

| Hey Yorkierose, I'm laughing at you BUT you sure are right. When you think you have seen it all, had it all and done it all, these little guys will throw something new at you. I really keep thinking after 30yrs nothing can surprise me, WRONG!!!! Sparklingbluyorkies.com |

But, you've been breeding for 10 years, you should know this and if you're concerned....get her to the vet, don't sit here and ask questions, that's wasting time... precious time that can stand in the way of your girl's health.

| When mine was nursing she got a cup of that every morning and night...and she loved it. After weaning I had to work at weaning her from it. She'd bark at the 'frig 'til I gave her some. Since she lost a lot of weight while nursing I think it did her good - supplemented with a high calorie supplement...and she gained her weight back and then some...never lost it!! We also fed her a lot of chicken breast meat - she gobbled that down right after having the pups.

| Update - Molly Just to let you all know who have kindly replied to my thread that Molly is doing fine.....took her to the vet today who informed me, no high temputure, she looks fine, she looks well in herself, (its me thats panicking!) but gave a injection to increase her appititie and also incase of any infection delveoping. Plus she has had a receipe i kindly got from a YT member. Todate, she is well, eating finally, and pups growing and all lovely shinning quiete pups!. Im ending this thread now,and thanks again.... oh just 1 more thing...and this is for Mardlaine....while i appreciate advice given there are times we, as experienced breeders, do require a 'second opiniion'.....so please if i post another thread try not to be so sarcastic and go on as if you are the only experienced breeder on this site!. You gave me a hard time before when i lost Stella (RIP) which upset me dearly! (and also got me banned from the site!) x Last edited by Shasha; 04-18-2011 at 03:50 PM. |

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | See, this is what I think is wrong with the breeding section. Shouldn't it be your in-person mentor that you get your second opinion from versus strangers on the internet?
