WHELPING BOXER

Question
HI, AFTER MY BOXER HAS HER LITTER WHAT SHOULD I FEED HER TO HELP BRING MORE MILK IN AND KEEP HER HEALTHY AND ENERGETIC? I HEARD YOGURT AND GOAT MILK WAS GOOD....

Answer
Hi Laura. I wouldn't change her diet too much, if she's on a good quality kibble, then keep her on that. After the pups are born, take her to the vet for a shot of oxytocin. This will make sure everything's out, and will also help with milk production. After the pups are born, and if she doesn't seem to have enough milk, then you can give her a couple tablespoons full of dark beer. This also helps with milk. However, plenty of good food and constant access to water is all that most dogs need. It's always best to keep some bottles and puppy formula on hand just in case mom doesn't get enough milk in later on. Good luck!
