Question
hi its me again, i jst want to ask how to detect if your bulldog will gave birth normal or cs, and if cs how long should i breed her again. anyways im feeding canidae and at the back it is stated that 53-55 pounds should be given 2-3 cups. i am wondering is it 2-3 cups a day or 2-3 cups for every meal. should i feed my bulldog once a day or twice a day? which is better???

Answer
Have your dog xrayed about a week before her first due date. That will tell you how many puppies there are and give your vet insight into whether she might be able to deliver naturally or not. She will probably require a section.

You're not feeding her enough. Pregnant dogs need nutrition to develop healthy puppies. Especially the last two weeks she will need supplements to increase milk supply and should be taking vitamins all along. Insteqad of one huge feeding, I would give her two or three feedings a day toward the end of her gestation period.  If she's big, she won't have room for big meals all at once.

Assuming she comes through the c-section well, I would wait at least a year before breeding her again.
