| Up late tonight.... Lily scared me tonight. I think she's starting to show some signs of getting low on calcium. I'm going to call my vet in the morning to make sure that's what may be starting to happen with her.......

| If she is showing outwards signs of low calcium (eclampsia) waiting till morning isn't the best idea.....vet assistance should be obtained now....she may not make it through the night if action isn't taken immediately

| Sorry I worried everyone last night! I was very tired (and still am) and just needed to post my worries aloud. The only thing she's doing that worries me is panting alot. She is eating fine and walking around fine and is very aware. I just didn't like that she was panting so much, but I called the vet and she said that panting is okay and it's just because she's tired. She told me to keep giving her the soft and dry puppy food I bought for her. I think I just need to offer to feed her more often. I didn't realize I had to feed her a LOT right now. I also think I need to relax a bit..... She's doing well today and so are the litle ones....

Absolutely, increase her meals....I feed about 5 or 6 meals a day....have it down whenever her plate is empty....essential to milk production.....yes, she's tired so you need to keep her energy up.

And go get some rest -- that's to Lily also. It's just like the advice you get when you have a baby, it's okay to let little chores go, more important to get the rest you need while you can get it. Never know what time you'll need to be up with Momma and puppies. Also can't critize how attentive and supportive your being for Lily and pups. Great job!

| She had been panting for two hours straight. I called my friend who is a vet tech and she suggested I feed her more soft puppy food. I guess I didn't know that it was okay to feed her at 2am or something. I normally wouldn't do that, but the food did give her more energy (duh!). She is doing tons better today. I am going to feed her about every 3 hours or so. Since I'm new at this, I didn't realize I had probably just gone too long without giving her a meal. She hadn't wanted anything until 2am except just the goats milk recipe given to me by Mardelin. I'm just going to be more vigilant today and keep to a solid schedule for feedings. She is walking around and eating fine. She is still panting some, but once we got the pups alseep, she wanted to go outside to run around for a bit, so she's fine. I think on top of being hungry that late, she was just exhausted (and for good reason).
