Pregnant dog??

Could I also give her Tums?

While Tums can help with an upset stomach, unlike humans, upset stomachs in dogs will typically resolve themselves quickly. It won't hurt your dog, but there's no real reason for giving them Tums, honestly.

I would make supplement and nutritional needs decisions based on vet advice.

I’ve given her lots of calcium

Why would you do this(is it a typical thing to do with recently whelped dogs)
Exactly what and how much d you give her?

I’ve given her 2 Tums, a yogurt cup, and some cheese.

What she needs is good solid nutrition.

Have you been in contact with the vet for recommendations?

Don't give her Tums. I wouldn't recommend yogurt either -- being dairy, it can cause upset stomachs in dogs, and mom doesn't need to risk throwing up right now.

Cheese is alright in small amounts, but only Mozzarella or goat cheese.

Also, she should have food and water available 24/7. If you don't have a diet specifically for lactating dogs, give her high-quality puppy food that's high in calcium and protein. Keep her on this diet until the puppies are weaned.

I would talk to a vet to determine proper diet. 9-10 months old is way too young to breed. Most don't recommend breeding a female until they are two years old, so she may have some stunted growth, but willy nilly feeding of high calcium foods may cause more problems. Mom needs to get checked out by a vet asap.

I knew they would be fine! I'm so happy for you and her enjoy your little bundles!

Puppy food and water is available 24/7. I do give her soft food every now and then. I’ll not give her too much dairy. I’ll make an appointment for her to get checked out.

But why?
