| Congratulations on you new litter and welcome to Yorkie Talk. It is important that your female eat plenty of good quality food. I always feed mine Chicken Soup dry puppy food mixed with canned Pedigree Lamb and Rice puppy food. It is important that she eat about 4 good meals a day and she should always have dry puppy food available. Be sure her last feeding is right before you go to bed. Her pups are at the age where they are really draining her of calcium so be sure that she is getting half a calcium pill twice a day to prevent eclampsia. My females usually gain weigh while nursing because they eat so well. Many of the breeders on here feed their bitches a 'whelping pudding'. You can do a search and find many threads that have recipes for it. Please keep us posted on how she is doing and we would love to see pictures. |

| Lola was looking thin also after her litter and she was eating canned Puppy food but it would take her the whole day for her to eat 1 cup of food. It took her some time and I even used to feed her out of my hand for about a week. Now she's been eating about a cup or more of puppy canned food plus about 3/4 cup-1 cup of Eukanuba petite food... She seems much thicker .Plus I give her 1/2 baby tums twice a day. Recommended by the vet. For the first 10 days I think ,I used to give her Post Whelp Pudding twice a day (about 3oz each bowl) How many did she have in her litter? Genie Cookie,Lola,Angel & Lucky |
