My GSD just had 11 pups and I have a few questions.
Full Question:
Hi,My GSD has just had 11 pups, I was wondering what is the best food she can have to keep her strength up and to make sure she is producing enough milk for them. Also quite a silly question, how will she know which pups have fed and which haven't, as she only has 8 teats?
Many thanks,
Rebecca
Ed's Answer:
We feed a raw all-natural diet.
Give your mother 2 cans of chicken broth every day – you can mix it with one can of water – the more liquids she drinks the more milk she makes. The more milk she has the more she will want to be with her pups.
We weight our pups 2 times a day with a gram scale (we also sell these scales) We make the pups with colored yarn – record the weights. We then go into the pups a number of times a day and every time we put the smallest pups on a tit. This is the only way you can do this.
