Vitamins

Post by Smoke »

what kind of vitamins are good for a pregnant female?

Is there a type of food that would be better for her?

Has anyone heard of false pregnancy?
how much does it happen to first time females?

Ok Smoke, this is only my personal oppinion. If you are feeding a high quality food that is complete nutrition, then you don't need to add suppliments. Just continue to feed as normal right up until the time she delivers. Don't start feeding more, especially towards the end, as it can lead to bigger puppies and a harder delivery.

As for the false pregnancy, I have come to see with my female that she will start to bag out and produce milk around the same time after a heat cycle as she would if she were actually pregnant. This isn't all that uncommon in females, aslo if it happens once there is a good chance that it will happen again.

Hope this helps.
