If mother won't nurse 4-week-old puppies, should they be supplement with Esbilac?

Question

They are eating solid food, puppy kibble.

Answer 1

You can mix the solid food with the Esbilac. Just pour warm formuls oner the kibble and let it soak. You can just feed the kibble,rice cereal,and a little canned evaporated milk all soaked and mushy. Esbilac can be expensive.

Answer 2

Sometimes the mother knows when it's time to wean them, maybe you should give the puppies the kibble. When I feed my puppies I grind the puppy food and mix it with water and some powdered milk. Hope that helps, as long as the puppies are eating the puppy kibble they should be fine, but if you're worried then try the powdered milk.

Answer 3

as long as they are eating solid food i would not worrying about supplementing so much....maybe once a day just to get them the nutrients that might still need..but that is a close call i would call the vet and ask them this.....
