Re: mama looks skinny

Just keep doing what you are doing. Rosie was the same, just be careful not to upset her stomach. Rosie has a delicate stomach so even me feeding her more upset it She has just started putting the weight back on now. Protein is good for milk production though.

Re: mama looks skinny

Try mixing kibble in with the pedigree, it may need softening, tins are mostly water.

Re: mama looks skinny

Try giving her egg custard, which consists of eggs, goats milk and glucose, it's easy for them to eat, she may have a sore tongue all that cleaning.

Re: mama looks skinny

I remember my girl doing this and we fed her at least 2 hourly (she was reluctant to leave whelp box so was hand feeding her for 1st week) and gave her weaning food/milk as well as usual food (oh and chicken, scrambled eggs etc!!) Didnt take long to build her back up
