Vizsla bitch eating non-stop

Question
Our Vizsla whelped 7 puppies 5 weeks ago. The puppies are on puppy food and feed from the bitch only a few times a day yet she wants to eat constantly.  Is this normal?  Might she have a tapeworm? Any other causes for this type of behavior?

Answer
Hi Phil

Has she put her "pre-puppy" weight?
Did you increase her food while she was pregnant?
What food are you feeding her?

She should absolutely (as with the pups) be de-wormed now regardless.  Some worms lay dormant in the muscle until the pregnancy hormones kick in.
