grdsmommy you are a negative person and judgemental?

Question

that is ok though. You do not really know me and I know myself. First of all, I came into this website to do research on my pregnant chihuahua who is named ANgel. I also read that puppy food is good to give to pregnant dogs. My Angel eats adult food but I heard it is good to give puppy food when pregnant. I am only trying to find out how to take proper care of my Angel. The world being overpopulated by animals is not my fault. This is Angel's first and last pregnancy. So you do not judge me u r such a negative person.

I want to think everybody else for the quick responses and I got alot of good information from all you. Thank you for all of your advice and in being postive instead of judgemental in your advice. I will be taking my Angel to the vet also. Thank you

People are often (or always...) bombarded on here for asking questions like yours. You just have to take the helpful advice that you get and throw out the rest.

I am just as disturbed as everyone else by the population problems, but for crying out loud, it doesn't do any good to scream at people for it... It's done, and now the concern is to get everyone through it happy and healthy! We're supposed to be here to help, not to try to change the entire world from behind our little keyboards...

I read your question and all of the answers, and you *did* get some really good ones. That's why I didn't include my own opinion. It is really good to give a pregnant and nursing mother puppy food. It has extra vitamins and nutrients and such that her body needs during this time. Do take her to the vet, though... They can go over her and make sure she is as healthy and ready for this experience as possible. If not, they will know what to do...

Do not give her grapes, by the way... or milk. (You always have to check your answers on here and make sure the advice you get isn't dangerous or even fatal...)

Also, take her in just a few days before she is due to whelp and get an X-ray done to check the puppies' skull-size in relation to her pelvic opening. They will then know if she needs a C-section, and will be able to set it up for you. With Chis, I wouldn't take the chance of her whelping at home without doing this first. Her odds for free-whelping are probably not good...

All the best to you and Angel, and it's good that you will be taking her in to be spayed after this is over... I think you may be in for some hard lessons in the weeks and months ahead.
