Over the past week Heidi has been demanding more and more food and water. At first I thought she needed to go out to pee when she was waking me before 5 AM (not good.) But when I added a late night snack/meal she started sleeping later. As of two days ago she is getting two extra meals a day - lunch & the late night snack. Her extra meals are better than 1/2 cup of kibble plus a Satin Ball. Breakfast and dinner are approximately 1 1/2 cups each plus she get a Nu-Vet Plus tablet with her dinner. So all together she is eating 4 cups a day plus 2 Satin Balls.
What is a Satin Ball? Often used to add weight to very thin show dogs this mixture is also a great additive for pregnant bitches. Below is the recipe.
10 pounds ground beef
10 ounces
uncooked oatmeal
6 raw egg yolks
10 ounces wheat germ
10 ounces
molasses
Combine all ingredients and mix well.
Roll into two-inch balls and freeze.
I cut this down to 1/3 of the recipe as it is so much easier to handle, but then you have to make them more frequently.
