Recipes for Puppy Formula
Never give milk to a chilled puppy! This could be FATAL!
Milk Formula
Place all ingredients in a blender and mix (or use a wire whisk) till well blended. Use all formula within 7 days.
Warm the formula to puppy body temperature before feeding. Always discard formula leftover at a feeding. This formula is thick and so is best administered by stomach tube. If using a bottle, enlarge the hole slightly. It provides 11 calories per cc.
Weak Puppy Booster
This formula is meant to be used on newborns that 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 Karol syrup or white sugar (do not use honey) OR Substitute plain, unflavored Pedialyte.
Mix ingredients and warm to body temperature. Preferred administration is stomach tube (to ensure correct dosage). Feed 1/2 cc per 2 oz. of body weight once per hour. If puppy is very weak, you may half the dosage and feed twice as often. This formula should be followed up with milk replacer as soon as the puppy is maintaining normal body temperature. This formula should not be fed exclusively for more than 8 hours.
