replacement formilk-aide

[high ridge joe]

I have read that some will give a pregnant bitch lime water and a tablet of Calcium gluconate at each feeding.....
does this have the same effects as Milk-aide?

also,
what does the lime water do?
where do you find lime water?
Where do you find calcium gluconate?

i have always used milk-aide...and i have a bitch due to deliver Sept 14-19th...
