Boxer Breeding And Whelping -Minnie’s Third Litter – Part 5 More Thoughts On Gestational Nutrition
so this is part two the gestation on a
fishing series
there’s our Minnie Mouse he’s eaten away
we’re typically things in the last video
first if when I spoke to other guys talk
about feeding it with a much bit better
and that feed levels twice a day so she
gets twice a day typically or finding
out now this is common as she gets those
babies doing more and more they throw
her belly up it says in that room for
her meals and so now we’re going to
three times then at least for the moment
we may change that back once we put her
on even more calorie dense food which is
the tomato
right now she’s struggling to eat two
cups twice a day but she can throw these
we need a cup and a half three times day
just because she has a very limited
space my belly you can see their bellies
definitely rolling pertaining to Berlin
and things back here loosening up and
starting to point down just common as
she prepares for birth but she’s still
about about two weeks out so she’s only
seven weeks along because she’s having
trouble in taking a nap and a good
lecture don’t take we’re gonna split
over tomorrow make two here Wednesday or
two and just calorie density is very
high on that food so she can then take
less and still maintain the necessary
anything one of the challenge is to tell
me how much you missed in mama there’s a
personal choice and it’s a judgment call
you have to make
one thing that happens it says this
belly grows it begins before it becomes
hard to tell exactly how much fat and
how much baby and so what we tend to do
is we feel her right here on her spine
and you should just feel the top of her
her spine and if she’s getting thin
you’ll feel more and more of that spine
and then you get to think you’ll feel
less and less than that so just run your
hand down the center of her spine feel
those bones through death time we’ve
seen others momma’s who have looked
fairly good at as they prepared for
birth within after birth they were just
very very poor can’t have that equally
you can’t hand up for obesity and so
you’ve really got to use your best
judgment and use your destroy your dog
self-determined water intake level needs
to be again at this stage it’s all about
calorie density more food is good to a
point but when that belly gets full of
babies the amount of food she can enjoy
gets reduced so she is doing pretty well
tonight she ate her a cup and a half of
puppy food and a few chunks of moist
food this morning she had two cups of
puppy food and she couldn’t finish it
all so we’re gonna go for the time being
at least three times a day got a cup and
a half each and then I will put her on
homemade dog food here pretty soon
don’t sit and ready to go not talk from
we’re preparing a welcome room now when
we get her whelping room ready we’ll
also cover that so you’ll get back from
me on this video in this video
