New mom

This is my first litter I am in Germany and all went and is well except after 4 days now mom looks and seems very very tired. Do I need to apply some suplements or will this just phase out?????

Re: New mom

How is her appetite? Is her temp okay? Any discharge? Is her personality different? Did she pass all the placentas?

I give my girls Tums for calcium. About 600mg at 2 X a day.

You are the best person to know if she is not well.

Re: New mom

Have you checked for mastitis?

Re: New mom

Congrats on your litter!
I would agree to add calcium and maybe some protien in meat form.
If she is not eating well her energy level will be low, ice cream will boost with calcium and energy :O)

I give icecream every day while they are nursing. My mom's always have lots of energy even with large litters.

Mine love to lay with those pups and just catch up on sleep for a week. Get up to eat at 4 days but other than taking care of pups and out for a potty break they do nothing. They deserve to do nothing. Bet she is fine. Congrats on your litter.

Re: New mom

Thank you all, I will try the suggestions!
