Last litter I had I found a recipe on here for gruel for te bitch but I can't find it now , can anyone help? Thank you.

Hi Claire, will PM you it.

Can u post it for all of us to see? :d

Certainly

    GRUEL

Cup of Porridge
2 cups of Water
1 Egg
Tablespoon of Honey
Tablespoon of Milk powder
Tablespoon of Glucose

Boil up everything together, stirring until porridge is thick, dilute with a cup of milk and cool. I serve it at blood temperature

ONLY INCLUDE THE EGG FOR THE FIRST FEED

Thank you soooo much, puppy brain took over lol.

Do you feed this to the bitch after shes whelped or while she is pregnant ?

Sorry, just seen this. I feed after the bitch has whelped then continue giving her it for 'breakfast' for about 2-3 weeks after. Mine ( and most of the bitches I have heard about) love it and I just feel that it gives them that boost each morning after feeding pups during the night.

Sorry, didn't have Internet access today. I can only echo what Alison says. It really helped me with last litter as it was all mum would at so I'm eternally grateful to chamdogs for it :-)

My girlies have just loved Alison's Gruel recipe :-D
