Do I need to feed my new mummy anything in supplement to her diet whilst she feeds her 3 pups. She gave birth 2 days ago and the puppies seem to be on her constantly? Does this mean that they may not be getting enough milk? Can anyone give me some advice.
Best thing is to ask your vet....probably can just call and they will tell you over the phone. There are some people here that have had experience with new mommies and their pups and I'm sure they will be able to help...Good luck and congrats on your new little babies!
Your new mummy should have been getting extra food during her pregnancy. I always try and give mine puppy food during and after preganacy - they also get scrambled eggs for breakfast - gives them extra protein. Keep an eye on her as you don't want eclampsia setting in.
Did you not read up or get advice before mating your girl and producing puppies, surely you should have learned all of this before deciding to breed?
