Question
Hi Karen my lhasa apso is due Dec.28 this is her 3rd litter she is very good mom but i would like her to make more milk what can i give her to help with this and what supplement do they need do they make for pregnant dogs?  

Answer
I never give my bitches supplements of any kind, but just let them have as much good-quality food and water as they will eat/drink... as long as they continue to maintain proper weight. I've never had a problem with lack of milk, even if a bitch has had to have a C-section. Giving a calcium supplement can cause problems, and a bitch should get sufficient calcium from her increasing diet.
