The breeder of our dog told us to give our bitch, Pet-tab Calcium 1 week before whelping her. The Vet says no. Who is right??
Full Question:
I just ordered your whelping video but needed an answer to my question before I would get it. The breeder of our dog told us to give our bitch, Pet-tab Calcium 1 week before whelping her. The Vet says no. Who is right?? This is suppose to ward off eclampsia. Our bitch is due in 2 weeks.Thanks,
Paula
Cindy's Answer:
Your vet is right. I would not feed calcium supplements to a pregnant female or growing puppy. I actually would not give them at all unless the dog had a medical condition that warranted this.
You can cause more harm than good with calcium supplementation.
