Feeding Mom

I think sometimes we manage to complicate feeding regimes.  VIP of course is only having to feed 3 puppies but it has been rather simple.  During her final 2 weeks of gestation she was fed about 1.5 x her normal amount split into 3 meals instead of 2.  Following the first 24 hours after birth, she got 2 x her normal amount split into 4 meals during the day and we've been maintaining that amount.  She's maintaining her weight well and has more than enough milk based on the growth rates of these kids.  We have supplemented her food with additional calcium but I will give her a couple tablespoons of Esbilac a couple times per week (more as a treat than anything else).  She is being fed raw and still gets her fish oil daily along with vitamin E.
