Our Maltese is pregnant again, last time she had 4 pups and developed mastitis when the pups were 5wks old. She looks much bigger this time and am thinking she may have more than 4 but wondering how she'll cope feeding more, she's such a little dog and if there is anything I could do to prevent her from getting mastitis this time around. She got really sick but pulled through, I don't want her to have to go through all that again. Any advice would be really appreciated.

Regards,
Dianne
