Thanks for the suggestion Sue. Will do.... I have only ever had one bitch on thryoid meds and that was many years ago, after her breeding years were done. Pat I.

They may have enough for them but not a litter of puppies which would cause them to reabsorb. Simple blood test and soloxine during gestation and while nursing. You need the blood test to determine how much soloxine. Was told this by a repo vet here in Florida that breeds a lot of Dobes.

No wheat, corn or soy, made in USA distributed by Tractor Supply out of TN. 35lb bag of Performance is $35, 30% protein. 35lb Chicken & Rice is $30 same ingredients and both have glucosmine and chondroitin. ??? ----- Reply message ----- From: "Pat Iredale" <whisperfield@sympatico.ca> To: <gsp-l@shorthairs.net> Subject: [gsp-l] Puppy food? Date: Sat, Apr 14, 2012 12:44 pm I feed puppy food (mushed) starting at 3 weeks of age. By the time the puppies leave at 8 weeks of age, they are eating the puppy food dry. I feed Pro Plan Puppy Chicken and Rice, only until 6 months of age. Then they go on Adult Pro Plan Chicken & Rice. At that time, I also supplement with a chewable Vit C/once a day (and take one myself too). I have been feeding ProPlan for about 3/4 years now. Coincidentally, for about the same number of years, I have been having puppy absorption problems, tiny pups/normal size pups, and very small litters – last 2 litters (different bitches) have been only 2 pups.... Years ago, I used to have nice sized litters (couple of litters of 11/12 pups), evenly sized, healthy pups. And over a span of about 15/17 years or so, had ever only lost 1 pup, with never a Csection needed.... I am at a loss as to what has been going on in the most recent years... I know other breeders who are feeding ProPlan with no problems, so I don’t believe it is the food. Just seems like a strange coincidence......

Hi everyone, I'd like to know the opinions in the group regarding feeding puppy food to pups less than a year of age. I know a lot of people don't, but my vet whom I've been going to for 20 years insists that puppies be fed a high quality puppy formula. My other question is regarding ready-mix food. Does anyone feed Sojos? Thanks, Donna Ray Abbeville, SC
