Hannah4181 260 Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 If she's on a GOOD QUALITY dried food, then you shouldn't need to add anything else. I personally feed raw, and would always continue to wether pregnant or not. See how she goes with adding some raw feeding, i'm not sure i'd want to mess about with her diet too much whilst pregnant. Best of luck with the pups. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rik 49 Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 just keep her on the same food as she has always eaten mate,pups will be fine it wont affect them at all if you start changing her food it may upset her stomach and give her the shits Quote Link to post Share on other sites

terrierjohn 49 Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 without sounding like a priik if you dont know how to care for a bitch in pup you should have got her a termination jab i know its your first litter and like i said i dont mean to be a priik here but 5/6 weeks on you should have asked for all the info you need at the start if not before the dogs were lined all that aside i hope all pups arrive in good healthy condition Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Its not ideal, but accidents happen and at least your doing your research now to ensure the bitch and pup get the best possible diet and care. Best of luck, and next time get a crate and lock her in it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
