I have vanilla ice cream on hand for mom during long whelpings (has sugar for energy and calcium for contractions) I use "mother's pudding" after whelping if they are being picky, and to help supplement calcium. I had a couple puppies that were very gassy with this and had to stop it, which resolved the problem. It was driving mom mad.
I love the rubbermaid bin that has wheels that goes up under the bed, very roomy. I had saved blankets from my last child, they sure are coming in handy now. |
