Thanks for all your kind words. I just hope I have it all together. Here are two questions for you:
1) Do you put a heating pad under your new puppies to keep them warm? We do live in Florida, and the puppies will be in a plastic whelping pen with blankets, on tile. We keep our a/c at 80. What do you think? On low?
2)How often do you give Nutrical to whom? The puppies and/or Lexie?

Thanks for all your help.

I use a heating pad turned on low and only over to one side so there is room for mama to get off it if she get s too hot. Most of the time, after about the first day i don't use it because neither mama or puppies will stay on it and if I need to, I use a heat lamp. I also have NEVER given Nutracal to a whelping mama and certainly not the puppies. Now, I think there are other breeders on here that might give the nutracal to the mama if her labor stops or something like that. not sure why they would give the nutracal. Different breeders do different things. Goood luck on your whelp.

Good Morning!! I got up this morning and we are all still as we were last night. I was so tired with the kids here, I only checked Lexie about midnight, and we all slept all night. Lex didn't even want to go outside from her cool place under the bed. On hands and knees I saw that she was fine, so I just left her. She came out about 15 minutes later. I think she want me to know we are on HER time schedule now.

Dee, so you NEVER us nutracal? I would like to hear about some other opinions on this product!! Thanks.

I will keep you all posted about the day!!

I give nutracal to mom while she's whelping a large litter if she seems to be tiring, it gives quick energy. I also will give her whelping pudding or some goat's milk esbilac if she'll drink it. With big litters alot of energy is required and mom must be kept hydrated.

Wow, this is the first timet that I have read this thread. I hope everything goes awesome for you and Mommy.

Just a couple questions:
1) What is "a bit?" a Tablespoon, 1/2 cup, 1 cup?
2) "Nutracal" where do you buy it? How often do you give to your new Mommy?
Please, if you can think of anything else...please share with me. I will apprecialte it.

Charlene, I have two tubes of Nutri-Stat. Same stuff, you don't need to buy any, I'll give you one of mine.

troubletb · 07-16-2007, 06:36 AM

Hey Char, I also wanted to say that I gave Nutri-Stat to Bell this time around. I also put a pin drop on the nipples when I fed the babies the first two days. They are strong and healthy, so I think it probably helped. Everyone has their own way of doing things, you just have to sort through all the information and find what helps you.

All it is, is a High Calorie supplement with omega acids, how could this hurt anyone!

ImCKN · 07-16-2007, 08:42 AM

Karen,
So glad to hear your little ones are doing well. You need to post some new pictures. Lex is still hanging in there. She looks so uncomfortable and is sleeping lots. I love just sitting next to her and "feeling" the babies move all around. If how active they are now is any inkling of how they will be when they are born...we need a taller fence!!! I do want to try that nutracal...I have heard and researched it and will I've decided to use it on Lexie and her little ones. Are you going to visit soon? You know you are welcome anytime!! Talk to you soon.

Hey troubletb,

I think you may have meant for this to go to ImCKN, but anyway, Nutri-Stat and Nutri-Cal ROCK! They are great and help so much! Putting it on her nipples is a great idea.

Nothing yet!! Lexie is sleeping a lot and eating a drinking, so I am still on hold!!! Thanks for the nutrical update...I will get some tomorrow. I will keep you posted!!! Thanks for caring!

Charlene,
My 15 year old daughter plays with a traveling softball team. We went to a NSA college exposure tourney in Warsaw, IN and the girls got put in the U16A bracket. We are actually a U16B team which is lower than A. The girls played awesome and last night at 10Pm our girls came in 1ST Place. We didn't get home until almost 2Am but the right was alot better since we won. I love watching her. I know someday I will really miss it.

I have been thinking about you and Lexi and hope all goes smoothly.

Blessings

Willow · 07-16-2007, 02:29 PM

Ohhhh!! Goodluck with the new babies!! You must be excited as well as a little nervous!
May she have a smooth whelp!!

What day is she on now?
