Tess's gone thin!!!

[muttersley]

My beautiful Tess had her babies last week. She is feeding them all well and they are all thriving. Tess is on a high protein puppy food eating as much as she wants but she looks awfully thin. Her coat is still glossy and she looks wonderful when she is lying down suckling but, when she gets up she is so boney, I could cry. She is happy enough in herself but I was wondering if any of you lovely people could recommend a supplement to give her to build her up to her former glory. Please help!!

Hi Ali, Matthew answered a similar question and I'm sure the info will help you with Tess. You can read this here:

Thanks Sharon,
I read Matthew's thread and it made me feel better to see that she isn't yhe only one. She is in good condition and has been eating to feed an army during her pregnancy and is now on 4 meals per day.
I think that because the pups are all huge they are just draining her. I will continue to feed her as much as she wants for as long as she wants, and, to be honest, she is really happy, just thin. thanks again for the info.
