Re: Lactating bitch in trouble . Eclampsia, calcium deficiency or infection?

Addie's still doing well. For now, I'm giving 1 Tum (750 mg) twice/day.

I've been feeding Premium Edge Chicken & Rice Adult for years, never had this problem before. I checked the bag and calcium is way down the list, 8th from the end, so can't be much but I'm going to e-mail and find out exactly how much. I did not supplement calcium prior to whelping, nor during whelp as I did a section.

Have to say it's so nice to get input from breeders on this list ... Even after 20+ years, I encounter things for the first time and it's so helpful to get brainstorming going. Thanks to all of you.
