Hi
What do you mean by colic - is it just tummy discomfort and like trapped wind as a baby gets or is she just being sick?

Hi she seems to have tummy discomfort ,she's not been sick ,temp is normal ,she is off her food a bit ,ie she wont eat it first thing in the morning but will take it at lunch time

maybe its where the pups are growing and making her feel fuller and more uncomfortable.

Did you get her scanned or palpated? any idea how many she's having?

Hello, I have used Infacol for new born babies with great success. It is a very natural  that breaks down air bubbles in the gut and lets them pass easily. It is completely safe as you can give it to new born babies. Very gently tummy massage (mine were not pregnant though) and I could feel the bubbles of wind breaking up and passing. I think Infacol has saved 2 rabbits, 5 guinea pigs and a dog from bloat which can be fatal.
