Answer
Hi Christina. When you ask what else can you give her, you're talking about dog food? If she's on a good quality dog food, then you don't have to give her anything else. Keep some beef broth on hand, and you may want to get some plain vanilla icecream. Both can be given during whelping and after as a pick me up. Just melt the icecream. As for vitamins and such, as long as she's healthy and on a good food, then she shouldn't need anything else either. Talk to your vet. Good luck, and let me know if I can help with anything else.
