Question
My 2 yr old Shih Tzu just had 7 puppies during the night. I would like to know what I can give her to help her cope with 7 nursing puppies. I already give her Yogurt twice a day and have been doing that about 2 weeks before she had the puppies. Any suggestions will greatly be appreciated. This is her second litter and she did well after the the 1st litter but there were only 3 pups she had to feed. Any suggestions will greatly be appreciated. Thank you.

Answer
Wow, New pups !  Make sure you stay in close contact with your VET;  Mom should be eating puppy food or Adult / Puppy food mixed ;  Also, Many nursing pets take the NuVET Plus supplement -

Please make sure your gal is on a good supplement-
