Unfortunately, it happens - the newborn puppy was left without breast milk. The best thing to do in this situation is to find a foster mother for the baby. However, this is not always possible. How to feed a newborn puppy?
It is necessary
- - pipette, syringe, small vial, cotton wool flagellum or brush;
- - goat or cow milk, milk replacer;
- - fresh eggs;
- - baby cream;
- - white bread, porridge, meat soup, meat, herbs.
Instructions
Step 1
Buy a milk replacer from a pet store. All cooking instructions are given on the packaging. The puppy can also be fed with goat milk.
Step 2
If you can't buy a substitute or goat's milk, and you can't stand time, you can feed your baby with cow's milk for the first time. True, in its pure form, it is not suitable for feeding puppies. Take 250 g of boiled cow's milk, add 1 raw egg yolk. Cool the mixture to 38 degrees. Use a pipette to feed your baby. It should be remembered that it is better to almost feed than to overfeed. When first feeding, do not give your puppy more than half a pipette of the mixture.
Step 3
If you don't have a pipette, use a small syringe. Place a rubber tube on it instead of a needle. You can use small drip bottles. Put an elastic band from a pipette on the neck of the bubble and pierce a hole in it. In the most extreme case, if nothing was found at all, roll up the flagellum from cotton wool. Dip it in milk and then squeeze it into your puppy's mouth. You can use a small paintbrush. Dip it in the mixture and then place it in the puppy's mouth. Milk should literally drop on the baby's tongue, otherwise it may choke.
Step 4
Puppies grow quickly. In the first week, babies eat very often, up to 12 times a day. The amount of milk consumed does not exceed 200 g. But by 4 weeks the number of feedings is reduced to 6, and the amount of milk consumed increases 2-3 glasses per day. In addition to ready-made substitutes, goat and cow's milk mixture, you can use baby cream, for example, "Agusha". Add a small amount of egg yolk to them.
Step 5
From 2 weeks feed the puppy with white bread soaked in milk, liquid milk porridge with the addition of fresh eggs. Be sure to give water several times a day starting at 3 weeks. From 3, 5 weeks, feed with meat soup, and at 4, 5, add boiled meat into the diet - twice a day for 15-20 g. At the same age, start giving finely chopped greens.
