Make sure you give the mom some yogurt to supplement calcium...

I'd strongly suggest calling your trusted veterinarian of choice and asking them their opinion. They'll likely be glad to give you advice. Tell them your concerns. I'd be a bit leery of feeding mama 'strange' (as in not used to) foods that may upset her stomach.

If you don't have a vet and still want more info I could call my sister or father and ask either of them (both are veterinarians so a lot more knowledgeable than myself in this field) for their suggestions.

Check with your vet. If you suppliment too much calcium too early it will cause her to develop milk fever. Try putting half with her at a time so every one has a chance to nurse in two boxes for nursing. weighing is also a good idea.

I bred her because there are lots of people who want boston terrier pups.
Not everyone wants to rescue a dog, they want certain breeds.
I personally don't think that breeding dogs a couple of times is a bad thing.
no pedestal standing please.
and I have been talking to my breeder and getting some advice from her.
thanks for the advice everyone.
i have been watching and switching puppies as I feel necessary.
luckily, the hungry ones are easy to figure out, they are the ones crying ..lol

I personally am glad that some people take the time to breed pure breeds. Lets be honest it is rarely that these dogs that wind up in shelters, as breeders (not puppy mills) tend to take far more time being careful about who gets thier puppies and then check in on them once in a while afterward.I doubt someone taking the time to find out how best to care for the pups is going to contribute to the issue
Most of the problem with strays comes from irresponsible owners and puppy mills.
Good luck with your new babies they are such a nice breed.
