It's challenging taking care of these pups. My mama Chihuahua died 3dsys after giving birth to 5 babies. I have been bottle feeding for over 3 wks to all of them. I'm very tired. But I promised the mama dog I will take care of them for you.. it's going good. The runt has been harder to take care of but he's doing better
Thanks! Extremely helpful. We were suddenly blessed with a litter of six and a mother that passed away after one day of giving birth. We had the supplies and materials from the vet, but this was the practical help we needed.
That was a great video! It is obvious you know what you are doing. Thank you for explaining each step, saying why it is important and giving little tips along the way. Many people have no idea what is involved when taking care of puppies that young and the animal always plays the price. Thank you!
I do dog rescue and really appreciate this detailed introductory information on caring for neonatal puppies. I have yet to be called on to this since I have only encountered puppies who are still being cared for by their mamas. But this will be helpful just in case. Thanks again!
If work at the Animal pet shop if the then will test each other Foster Mother to see if her milk is safe that another suggested ok then if her milk is safe to feed the puppy
This helps a lot because I’m getting a puppy at 5 weeks because the owners moving so they had to give it to me early. This is gonna help so much! Thank you
I like the way you hold the puppy in the proper position when feeding - on its belly, not its back. I would recommend that you also roll up a hand towel to let the pups rest their arms on while feeding. Otherwise, their little arms flail around, they don't know what to do with them.
My pug gave birth to 4 puppies...but one is unable to latch on to his mom. He is so tiny...then the rest. N his mom refuses to look after it. So im bottle feeding it. I hope all goes well. Thank you for this video
I had a golden retriever.. but she is no more.. but she has left two cute puppies 4 me.. & they r lyk my babies... they used to sleep wid me and nvr hurt me
One thing I would add is once they get to about 1.5 -2 weeks old and taking in more formula it’s important to burp them after as well . There are videos on this . Even stopping between feeding and burping relieves the gas . Like you would burp a baby or you can hold them upright against your chest and rub their sides gently . Formula ratio should always be 1 part formula to 2 parts water . If you find the milk is too thick add a little extra water . Formula can be clumpy ... for me I Prefer to add the already warmed water to the formula . It helps with clumping .... Great video !
Oh yes and thank you for not having disturbing music to go along with it. There was another I just had to mute then finally just cut it off sitting through 5 feeding was too much and too repetitive. Btw how much at each sitting do they usually eat.I know the small bottles are 2-4 oz.
That dog appear like it's contemplating life so hard! Oh man, that was amazing lol the sweetest things ever!!!!!!!!!!! walking away xD what did we do to merit doggies? i love all breeds but i choose straight dogs! A dog is a mans best friend :slightly_smiling_face: I imply this from the bottom of my heart: thank you. Dogs are super Very nice! Why do folks dislike this? I thought it was just me but it was still a fantastic video. i trust all dogs are friendly as long as you treat them well :slightly_smiling_face:
