Valueable video.
Hi Roland, we're so happy to hear you found this valuable!
This was helpful
We are glad you found this video helpful!
Several breeders have told me not to give the first dose of calcium until after the first puppy is on the ground, but you specifically said to give it when the temperature drops. I'm a little bit confused as to what the better thing to do. Can you explain what the difference would be and why I should give it to her as soon as the temperature drop versus as soon as the first puppy lands?
Yes, we do recommend the Oral Cal Plus gel to be given the 1st signs of labor. This article may help you> www.revivalanimal.com/learning-center/how-to-use-calcium-at-whelping
I had heard the same thing. I was told not to give calcium until after the first puppy was born.
Thank you so much for your guidance !! My dog is ready to give birth at any moment and I have Calsorb on hand. I needed to find out when to administer her the first dose, as well as, how much and how often. Your video was great !
We are so happy to hear this and good luck! Let us know if you need anything!
You helped so much calcium deficiency ca be so bad an extra bad if you don't know what's going on .thank you

Doctor u can say me about my cat mouth infection what would uplied
Hi there,
I see through the link you provided for the product, they don't include Phosphorus in them at all. You said to look for one that has half and half but I can't find that anywhere. Do you recommend just using the calcium supplement from Breeders Edge?
Brandi, that's a good question. We recommend the Oral Cal Plus gel to help with labor and contractions. It has 3 forms of calcium so it's both a fast acting and slow acting calcium suppliment which can help prevent Eclampsia during whelping and also post whelping. We also recommend the Oral cal Plus powder post whelping or the Doc Roy's Healthy Bones to help mom recover lost calcium levels. These have the 2:1 ration of calicum/ phosphorus to help with calcium absorption into the bones. Here are the links> Oral Cal Plus Gel> www.revivalanimal.com/product/breeders-edge-oral-cal-plus-gel?sku=63215-493- Oral Cal Plus Powder> www.revivalanimal.com/product/breeders-edge-oral-cal-plus-powder?sku=63216-1232 and Doc Roy's Healthy Bones> www.revivalanimal.com/product/doc-roys-healthy-bones?sku=60322-174.

I was told to give my girl some cal-gel after she delivered a couple of pups from the stud service,, do you recommend it sooner and how much. She was 30 lbs before she became pregnant
Good morning Paul and Kerrie, we recommend to give the Oral Cal Plus gel at the first signs of labor when her temperature has dropped on degree. They will usually go into hard labor within 12-24 hrs later. We want to give mom a dose of oral cal plus every 4-6 hrs until you see the first puppy and then dose after every other. If its been approx 45-60 minutes and the next puppy isn't there, its okay to dose mom again. The oral cal plus gel can also be given post whelping for 3 days to help mom recover. We also have the oral cal plus powder to help with post whelping needs. Here' s the link> www.revivalanimal.com/product/breeders-edge-oral-cal-plus-powder?sku=63216-1232.
Tums antacid work amazing if you dont have the product shown when u need it
What’s the dosage please ?? How to administer?? Thanks 🙏
I am going to order these items I have Chihuahuas. Would it be the 3.5 tube that best works for the little ones?
Good morning Terry-Ann. Yes, I would recommend the 3.5 feeding tube for you. Sheryl at Revival.
Just for clarification.
Do I give the gel when my dog is in labor? How often? after the first pup can I give some to the dam again? Thanks!
Lucia, The Oral Cal Plus gel is started at the first signs of labor. Dosing instructions can read on our website> www.revivalanimal.com on the product page when you select the tab instructions> here's the link for you> www.revivalanimal.com/product/breeders-edge-oral-cal-plus-gel?sku=63215-261. Sheryl at Revival.
What if Oral Cal Plus is not available where I am? What can I use as a substitute? If nothing fast-acting is available, should I start tums a few days before the due date?
(She’s due on the 10th of May)
Good morning Tanisha, If Oral Cal Plus isn't available, I would recommend checking with your vet for calcium substitute available in your area. Other calcium products such as yogurt, cottage cheese, milk replacers, or there may be a different brand of calcium supplement available in your area such as Osteo Form or Healthy bones can be diluted with water and given orally. We're also able to ship the Oral Cal Plus to most international countries. Sheryl at Revival.

My 11 pound dog shih-chon pants alot and is restless at times. 14 days post whelping. She eats alot. Should I give her oral oralcal gel as a maintenance dose? And what is the best calcium supplement to give her daily? Thank you for your videos. Very good stuff
John, if she's showing signs of low calcium, the oral cal plus gel is quick to help bring her calcium levels back up again. We also recommend the Oral Cal Plus Powder to help maintain her calcium levels post whelping. Sheryl at Revival.
@@RevivalAnimal her calcium level is at 7.8mg/dL. Are we at risk of giving too much calcium when giving oral cal plus powder?
Would you administer the colostrum asap the same way in newborn pups?
Good morning JayyGirll, we recommend to give the first dose of NurtureMate when puppies or kittens are 12-24 hour old. It can be given every day to help them thrive and nurse better the first week.
How far apart should the doses be if you are trying to get n 3-4 prior to the 1st puppy?
Lisa, Administer first dose orally after observing a one degree or more temperature drop. Then dose every 4-6hrs until you see the 1st puppy. Sheryl at Revival.
Can you tell me how much to give a 110 pound female Great Dane? Sam with the colostrum supplement for puppies?
Dee Nova, the dosing information is on the product page under the tab instructions. Here's the link for you to look> www.revivalanimal.com/product/breeders-edge-oral-cal-plus-gel?sku=63215-493 and here's the link for the Nurture Mate also for you > www.revivalanimal.com/product/breeders-edge-nurture-mate?sku=63212-493 Sheryl at Revival.
Is doc Roy’s efficient as oral CalPlus?
The Oral Cal Plus Gel has a quicker effect for low calcium episodes and the Oral Cal Plus Powder is designed to help maintain calcium levels during lactation. Healthy Bones has to go through the digestive track first and can take too long. Sheryl at Revival
What is a good "balanced calcium supplement" to give, and you give this how often and until kittens are weaned?
A calcium supplement itself isn't recommended to give while pregnant. It is ok to give for labor/ contractions. During this time, we recommend the Oral Cal Plus Gel and post we recommend the Oral Cal Plus Powder to help recover lost calcium from labor and to help main levels during lactations. A good vitamin to give during off breeding season is In Between for Her/Him, Pregnant>Oxy Mate prenatal, Post, Oxy Momma ( a long with oral cal plus powder). Newborns we recommend NurtureMate, Nurture Flora. Sheryl at Revival
Would you suggest the laboring mother would still need calcium if she's not welping naturally? If she is having a c section is the calcium still necessary?
Good morning Leslie, That's a good question. Calcium is still needed even for mom having a c section. They can also have issues with low calcium. This article may help you>www.revivalanimal.com/pet-health/careful-with-calcium/learning-center. Sheryl at Revival.
Do you reccomend switching her food to a puppy food at some point? If so when?
Around day 55 we start mom on puppy food since there's more calories and she is running out of room in her tummy. This article may help you. www.revivalanimal.com/pet-health/my-first-litter-dog-pregnancy-stages/learning-center. Sheryl at Revival.
You can’t get the calcium gel in the U.K. . Are there any alternatives ?
Hi Shirley, We are unable to ship consumable products internationally. Michelle@Revival
Is there any other good options for calcium?
Good morning Carmella Yee, we recommend the Oral Cal Plus Gel for labor and contractions. Here's the link for you to look>www.revivalanimal.com/product/breeders-edge-oral-cal-plus-gel?sku=63215-493 and the Oral Cal Plus Powder for post whelping > here's the link> www.revivalanimal.com/product/breeders-edge-oral-cal-plus-powder?sku=63216-498. Sheryl at Revival.
My great dane is due friday and my vet gave gave me durvet calcium gluconate for cow and animals is this going to be okay to use and if so how much should she be given at first and what can you tell me about using it
Alisha, I’m sorry, for the safety of your animals, I cannot provide any dosing instructions beyond what is printed on the label, via chat, email, twitter or Facebook. I would recommend to contact your vet regarding the use of this product and how much to give. Sheryl at Revival.
This is not the same
My dog could not produce milk the previous time it had puppies hence they died. Its currently pregnant, what would you reccomend me to do inorder to help the coming puppies survive?
Good morning back up, We recommend the Breeders Edge Oxy Momma, this contains fenugreek which helps with milk production. We also recommend the Oral Cal Plus Powder. Here are the links for you to look>www.revivalanimal.com/product/breeders-edge-oxy-momma?sku=63377-1237 and www.revivalanimal.com/product/breeders-edge-oral-cal-plus-powder?sku=63216-498. I would also recommend a feeding tube, milk replacer, the miracle nipple. If mom doesn't have enough milk, you'll need to supplement> here's the links> www.revivalanimal.com/product/breeders-edge-foster-care-canine-milk-replacer?sku=63263-209 and www.revivalanimal.com/product/nasogastric-tube?sku=25221-99-658 and www.revivalanimal.com/product/miracle-nipple?sku=25212-1269. Sheryl at Revival.
What calcium is good for daily use post delivery?
Stephanie we recommend the Oral Cal Plus Powder for post whelping. The Oral Cal Plus Gel and also be used post whelping to bring calcium levels up quickly should she have low calcium episode. Sheryl at Revival.
What balance calcium supplement should I give my chihuahua?
Good morning Rob, For whelping, we recommend the oral cal plus gel to help with labor and contractions, Oral Cal plus powder for post whelping to help recovery and also for additional calcium needs. Here are the links for you to look> www.revivalanimal.com/product/breeders-edge-oral-cal-plus-gel?sku=63215-493 and www.revivalanimal.com/product/breeders-edge-oral-cal-plus-powder?sku=63216-498. Sheryl at Revival.
Is it okay to give the mom the oral cal gel before every feeding?
Janel, that's a good question to ask. The Oral Cal Plus Gel, is given during whelping and also post whelping if needed. We don't give calcium supplements while pregnant because mom won't learn to pull calcium from her bones during whelping. During whelping the 1st initial dose is given at the 1st signs of labor at 1ml per 10 pounds of body weight, then 2-3ml each dose thereafter every 4-6 hours until you see the 1st puppy. Then we dose after each puppy. Post whelping it's ok to give mom a dose of the oral cal gel 2-3ml each day for 4-5 days along with the oral cal plus powder to prevent any calcium issues post whelping. Sheryl at Revival
my vet in aus reccomends against using a calcium supplement, but suggested using puppy milk replacer? what is your opinion on this
I have been told by most breeders not to give calcium until after first puppy is born. Does she need it before or after first pup??
Good afternoon Lisa. We recommend to start giving mom the oral cal plus at the first signs of labor. We want to get a couple doses in before you see the first puppy. Its better to start at the beginning instead of later so we aren't trying to play catch up later and mom has an issue.

Hi, what if the dog has the restless, panting, scratching and actin weird but blood work says calcium is within normal rages? What could it be. Also what is the difference between oral cal and cal sorb? Tia
Good afternoon Yusdaly Brito. I would recommend to give mom the oral cal plus. These signs are symptoms of low calcium levels. Even though the calcium levels may read within normal range, trust what you're seeing. We had a very good vet, Dr. Bramlage who retired who always said," Treat what you see," If she acting like her levels are low, treat her as if they are. Its better to prevent an issue, than to try to treat an issue. The difference in Oral Cal Plus vs Calsorb, is the oral cal plus has 3 forms of calcium instead of 1 in calsorb. The flavor is also better so mom's like it more. Sheryl at Revival.
Revival Animal Health sheryl thank you so much. Too bad the oral cal is backordered. My vet keeps saying she is just anxious. Also she is like 17 lbs what dosage of oral cal she should get and how aften?
Yes, I agree it's too bad it's on backorder. The dosing instructions can be read on product page when you select tab instructions> here's the link for you> www.revivalanimal.com/product/breeders-edge-oral-cal-plus-gel?sku=63215-493. Sheryl at Revival. I can also recommend the Oral Cal Plus Powder used during post whelping> here's the link> www.revivalanimal.com/product/breeders-edge-oral-cal-plus-powder?sku=63216-498. Sheryl at Revival.
I did this with two litters, and it didn't help AT ALL. Mother STILL got eclampsia and had to stop nursing. I did do what the vet told me to do when it happened again and that's crush up two TUMS tablets (calcium carbonate) and shoot down her throat via syringe...it helped totally!! and then had to keep her away from her puppies period. It was difficult for me, cause at 11 days old, I had to hand feed the puppies every three hours around the clock till they were were 4 weeks old.
How did you know that something was wrong?
@@anitaherron5778 Mom started acting weird...going behind couch and scratching on floor with front paws. Gets stiff and is shaking, drooling from mouth and hyper panting. Have to get dog wet and put fan in front of her to cool her down. It is really scary. Calcium in tube Oral Cal Plus did not help at all.
Just ordered. Had no idea. I'm wondering how wild dogs ever managed to propagate the species without us!
I wonder that too !
Same way humans survived, sheer numbers so the ones that died didn’t affect long term population growth.
They have a higher mortality rate!

Can i give any calcium supplements ?
Good morning 1006 BMI Rubesh Babu TV. We don't give calcium supplement while pregnant because if we do, they won't learn to pull calcium from their bones when they need to.

I heard if a dogs temperature drops below 100 that she is ready for her pregnancy?
my female is due anyway now and I am anxiously waiting for her to show me signs that she's ready
Good morning Tony. The females temperature may drop one degree before she goes into heavy labor 24 hrs later. This article may also help you> www.revivalanimal.com/pet-health/whelping-or-birthing-puppies/learning-center. Sheryl at Revival.
I am at the same point with my dog ! She seemed like she started Stage 1 labor yesterday but shes not really doing anything but resting. She was nesting and dripping clear fluid. Should I administer a little bit of calsorb to get her going ?
@@lynnkuhnle3089 yes. If anything go to your local vet and schedule a c section. I lost my pups because there was bloody mucus coming out and one of the pups were stuck side ways blocking all of the rest of the pups in. I lost the litter.
What can I use if I am not able to get Oral Cal Plus in time?
Good morning Mar Rivera, I would recommend to check locally to see if you can find Calsorb. Sheryl at Revival
@@RevivalAnimal Hi Sheryl I could not find any calsorb is Calcium Phosphorus okay?
Good morning Mar Rivera, I'm sorry we can't comment on products we don't sell. The ingredients may vary. I would recommend to double check with your local vet or pharmacy and they should be able to tell you or recommend something. Sheryl at Revival.
What should be the of mother Temperature
The normal temperature of dogs is 100.5-102.5 and the usual drop in temperature before parturition is to below 99 degrees. Sheryl at Revival.
How much is one dose
Here's the link for Oral Cal Gel> www.revivalanimal.com/product/breeders-edge-oral-cal-plus-gel and the dosing instructions can be read on the product page by selecting the + sign for Instructions. Sheryl at Revival
what if the dog is over 100 pounds what would be the first dose? and next dosage?
Smokkin Aces Kennels> Dosing for the Oral Cal Plus gel is>
Administer first dose orally after observing a one degree or more temperature drop. Active labor is estimated within the next 12-24 hours. Administer a measured dose every 4-6 hours until labor begins, and after each newborn until labor is complete.
Dogs over 20 lb, 1 mL per 10 lb initial dose; 1 - 3 mL per dose thereafter.
Give an additional dose if labor stalls more than an hour. If labor stalls for more than 2 hours, consult your veterinarian. This can also be read on the product page when you select the + sign for Instructions. Sheryl at Revival.

If I have powdered Oral Cal, what dose might I use for a 95 pound mama … even though I know she would have to digest it I could mix it with something yummy. That or go right to the Doc Roy’s?
@linireading506, We recommend the Oral Cal Plus Gel during a low calcium episode. It's absorbed in the cheek immediately for quick effect. The Oral Cal Powder or Doc Roy's Healthy Bones must go through the digestive track which may take too long. Sheryl at Revival.
Thank you for your reply. My oral cal plus tube is expired I just realized and I have a litter due anytime. It won’t hurt anything if I mix it with a little ice cream to give her between Puppies will it?
Also, I was very interested in Dr. Marty Greer’s pregnancy food, the Royal Canin HT42d. My guardian family has been feeding their girl royal Canaan intestinal diet and I don’t believe that’s probably nutritional sound for a pregnant dog so we were wondering about getting her switched over before the next heat cycle. I believe I heard her say you can only get it from Royal Canaan but when I Google it I don’t see how to order it. Would I just need to call Royal Canaan and find out about that and will I need a veterinarians prescription?
I am so thankful for this subscription and to have the opportunity to listen to Dr. Greer’s knowledge across-the-board. Thank you so very much.

It's ok. I don't use Siri and still have plenty of typos! LOL 🙂
besides using oral cal what post whelp calcium do you recommend?
Good morning Keith. We recommend the Oral Cal Plus Powder post whelping. It contains the right amount of calcium, magnesium and vitamin D3 to help mom recover during nursing and also supports bones and teeth. We also recommend the Oxy Momma to make sure she's producing milk.

My dog has leaked green discharge but hasn’t gave birth what is going on?
Good morning Ryd, Usually there will be a dark green discharge from the vagina. This means the placenta has detached and the mother is ready to give birth. If the discharge appears and your dog has still not had puppies after a few hours, contact your vet for help. Sheryl at Revival.
This is happening to my dog right now! Please help if you have any ideas on what I should do..I can’t take her to a vet at the moment
