Can anyone tell me how to feed a 2 day old pup who is losing weight?
The mother is supposed to be feeding a pup this young! **Newborn puppies, dying from the ”failing puppy syndrome”, have a tablespoonful of chopped liver added to their mother’s diet or puppy milk replacement formula. Overnight, the pups snap out of it and start gaining again. Orphan puppies, stunted because their formula is inadequate, have a little liver puree added to that formula and those same puppies suddenly begin to grow and gain weight. **Weak Puppy Booster This formula is meant to be used on newborns who are chilled, weak or otherwise compromised. This formula should be administered every 1-2 hours (or more often) by stomach tube and the puppy should be warmed slowly. Once the puppy begins to maintain a normal body temperature, regular feeding can resume. NEVER FEED A CHILLED PUPPY MILK REPLACER. 8oz. lactated ringers solution or sterilized water 1 tablespoon white Karo syrup or white sugar (do not use honey) OR Substitute plain, unflavored Pedialyte Mix ingredients and warm
