I will get pics up soon, I promise! :D
Well, Cali is pregnant! Wohoo!!! Now, I have some questions about nutrition. I
have been reading a little and found out that Chis are very different from
other breeds of dogs when it comes to gestation and nutrition. That is why I am
here.
I am expecting between 3-5 pups since her mom threw 4-5 with 5 being her first
litter size. My questions are;
1) what kind of vitamins do you all recommend for an expectant mother?
2) is there any special levels of like protein or anything that I should be
looking for in her food?
3) she gets dry kibble and is supplementing that with kitty crunchies outside
and the cat food inside (as usual) should I add canned food to her diet?
4) I know to give extra calcium after the pups are born, should I start any
calcium supplements before her due date? (Dec. 14th is her due date)
If I am missing anything, please feel free to tell me what she should be
getting. Cali sleeps in my bed, eats some of my supper with me, and is my
buddy. I want to treat her and her pups with the best care I can.
If there is a web site that someone here has, that is set up for us first time
expectant moms, please send me the link.
Thanks again folks. I appreciate any and all help I can get! :D oh, and so
does Cali!
