Supplement for a dog who just gave birth?

Question

My dog gave birth to 5 healthy pups on January 4th. She has been to the vet and is in very good health. I spoke with the vet about a calcium supplement that would help her to avoid eclampsia, and he told me to give her Esbilac or Mamalac. Which one is best

Answer 1

Put a little scrambled egg and cottage cheese in her kibble, you don't need to buy esbilac just for that.

I don't use it for puppies either, use canned goats milk, you can buy it at most Walmarts.

Answer 2

If there was a "best" the veterinarian would have suggested it. Either is good.
