New mother Shih Tzu dog food; dog foods for weight gain nursing mom;

Question
My Shih Tzu had a liter of 5  puppies on 6/2/09.  She is being a very good mommy but I can't seem to get any weight on her.  She is eating several times a day but those puppies are taking everything she has.  I am giving her puppy food mixed with some turkey about 7 times a day.  How can I get some weight on her?

Hi Lucy - yes,  BEST wishes on the new pups!
I have help for momma ....
Go out and find some Solid Gold Barking at the Moon dog food - mix this into her dog food ( about a 50:50 mix) for the next month.
Sold Gold Brand is found at many pet stores and dog groomers salons.

Also, Please get momma onto the NuVET Plus wafer supplement - this will put some bulk onto mom and helps with digestion.
NuVET, in the powder form, is great for pups over 5 weeks of age - you can mix it into the puppy mush.
MOM can have 2 wafers per day for 1 month and then go down to just 1 wafer of NuVET per day...
