trouble producing milk.

Post by sstrong »

I have a old bitch that is 10 tears old. She has lost her last two litter's by not being able to provide milk. Her breast draws up and gets hard. Is there anything that i can give her to help? I have tried anti-biotics & milk aide in the past, with no luck.

I think the old gal is trying to tell you that she is past her prime. 10 years old is probably too old. If you aren't prepared to hand raise them or have another bitch available to take them over to nurse I think its time to call it quits with this one. Its like your 80 year old granny trying to have a baby..
