I am hearing conflicting reports about the usefulness of red redraspberry leaves for bitches in whelp. I am told it will increase uterine strength to increase contractions and expel the whelps. When do you start using it? Good idea? bad idea? I have never used it but am considering using it. I would like to hear your thoughts and experience on this. Thank you.

I've seen advertisements for that. I'm curious too. We have lots of fresh raspberry leaves right now.

Hrmm... I would suggest bad idea, for the sake of pesticides and other things that could be on the plant.

I have much experience whelping pups and swear by my trusty Calsorb. This only has an affect if you do not feed your bitches calsium supplements. I give one dose after every pup or about every hour and it works great!

Doug, where do we get Calsorb? Should have asked the other day.

The best place to get it is from your vet, but most vets have no idea what you are using for and never have even heard of the calsium method so they can't help you too much, or at all, with dosage. Here in the PNW Dr. Cindy Smith is the one to talk to at The Pet Doctor in Lakewood WA, everywhere else your local reproduction specialist should be able to help you. Or you can buy it from revival @

animules, if you want exact dosage info email me or ask next time your around!

the red raspberry leaves I am considering using come from Thomas Labs in a product called Red Raspberry leave extract. All natural, no pesticides.

In that case give it a try, I would love to hear how it works!
