Are you talking about supplementing their diets when they are in whelp w/ it or using it as a shot either alone or in conjunction w/ pit during whelping? If it's the first DO NOT. When you add liquid or pills, the bitch's body actually becomes less efficient and once she has her babies you are setting up for a case of eclampsia. Here's a link: _http://74.125.39.104/search?q=cache:HHWahZ5Y5GIJ:www.lowchensaustralia.com/br eeding/eclampsia.htm+eclampsia+in+dogs&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=4&gl=us&ie=UTF-8_ (http://74.125.39.104/search?q=cache:HHWahZ5Y5GIJ:www.lowchensaustralia.com/breedi ng/eclampsia.htm+eclampsia+in+dogs&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=4&gl=us&ie=UTF-8) It's perfectly fine to add ice cream, yogurt or cottage cheese.
