4┃ Calcium Conundrum: Escaping Eclampsia in Breeding Dogs

Worried about when to give calcium during labour or if your supplements are doing more harm than good? Not sure how to support your bitch through each stage of whelping without accidentally interfering?

In this episode, we break down the key facts breeders need to know about calcium supplementation, labour timelines and the breeder’s role in supporting one of the largest muscles in the body — the uterus.

We discuss why not all supplements are created equal, how low-grade fillers can sabotage your plans, and what to look out for when choosing supportive aids like raspberry leaf. We also answer the common question of how long calcium should be continued and explain what to expect from active contractions to whelping pauses.
