It's called hand feeding. Call a vet.

Answer 2

730 days of those 1000 days ( 73% of the time ) were democratic dominated in the oval office, the house and the senate. Yet still we have a few responding to your question blaming republicans. HEY LIBBIES, you should thank the republicans for stopping it. The near $5 trillion in added debt totally Obama and the dems would be much higher if not for the 2010 election. --- where the dems got a worst any party a$$ whippin in 70 years!!! After losing 60 house seats, 10 senate seats and 680 state level assembly seats. Wake the F up! Guess what.....you think the nation was ticked off then as evidence of the dem party nation wide got a good ol' fashion widening of their sphincter muscle, watch what happens 11 months from now.

Answer 3

My best advise would be to make an appointment with your local vet and see what kind of feeding technique they recommend for the puppy. Some pups can feed from a bottle and others actually have to be tube fed, which can be done at home after your vet provides you with the equipment and shows you how. Good luck.

Answer 4

TOO YOUNG TO NURSE FROM A BOTTLE - ITSTOO MucH EFFORT FOR ONE THAT SMALL (much harder for them than from the teat)

GET TO THE VET NOW

You have to learn how to use a stomach tube and intubate the puppy. The vet will have to teach you. It will be every hour on the hour for a few days

You can not wait until later or tomorrow. Puppies die FAST.

Answer 5

How wonderful of you to want to help this newborn!

Your vet can show you how to successfully bottle feed or tube feed the puppy, and can also hook you up with the right sort of formula for your pup.

Here's more detailed information:

Commercially prepared puppy milk formulas are readily available and are nutritionally balanced to meet the needs of orphan puppies. Homemade milk formula recipes are also available. These are not perfectly balanced nutritionally, but will suffice for several days until commercial formulas can be obtained. Esbilac and Puppylac are well known puppy milk replacers.

Emergency Puppy Milk Replacer
1 cup whole milk (goat's milk is better than cow's milk)
1 pinch table grade salt
3 egg yolks - no whites
1 tablespoon corn oil
1/4 teaspoon liquid vitamins

Do not substitute cow's milk or goat's milk for a high quality puppy milk replacer. They are not equivalent. Do not feed raw egg whites as a biotin deficiency may occur due to an enzyme in the white part of the egg. The enzyme is destroyed with cooking. Honey may contain bacteria, which may be fatal to the puppies.
Whether using a commercial or homemade formula, only make enough formula for 1 day of feeding at a time and keep it in the refrigerator. Wash and dry the bottles and nipples or feeding tube thoroughly between feedings. Warm the puppy milk replacer in a pan of water until 98-100ºF before feeding.

The puppies will need to be burped during and after each feeding. Hold them up-right or over your shoulder and pat their back. Bottle or tube feeding needs to be done very carefully to prevent aspiration of the supplement with subsequent aspiration pneumonia or drowning. Substitute 2-3 tube feedings a day with bottle feeding to help satisfy the suckling reflex. This should help decrease the puppies tendency to suck on each other and possibly cause sores.

The first 48-72 hours, they should be fed every 2 hours. For the remainder of the first week, they should be fed every 3 hours during the day with two 4-hour stretches at night. The second week, the feedings should be every 4 hours during the day with one 6-hour stretch during the night. By the third week, they should be started on puppy mush 3 times a day and the bottle feeding should be continued.

Prepare the puppy mush by placing 2 cups of high quality dry puppy food in a blender with 12.5 oz liquid puppy milk replacer and fill the rest of the blender with hot water. This should be blenderized until the consistency of human infant ce-real. (This feeds 6-8 puppies of a medium-sized breed.)

By the fourth week, the mush should be fed 4-5 times a day and the amount of bottle feeding can be slowly reduced. The middle of the night feeding can be re-duced and eliminated also. They can be completely on solid food by 6 weeks of age.

A newborn puppy is unable to urinate or have a bowel movement on its own. It lacks the necessary muscle control over these functions. A puppy must be stimulated to urinate and defecate. This duty is normally performed by the mother. Her grooming or licking of the puppy's anal area will stimulate it to urinate and defecate. Orphaned puppies must be manually stimulated by the owner to enable urination and defecation. The puppy must be stimulated after each and every feeding. Fortunately, this is easy. A cotton ball or piece of very soft toweling works well. Moisten it with warm water and gently rub the anal and genital area. Within one to two minutes the puppy will urinate and/or defecate. Some puppies will respond better before eating while others respond better after eating. Try both times to keep the puppies healthiest. Keep a record of each puppy's urination and defecation. Puppies will need to be stimulated in this fashion until their bladder and bowel muscles strengthen, usually by 21 days of age. Most puppies will eliminate on their own by three weeks of age.

KEEP THE PUP WARM. If the pup's core temperature drops, his organs will shut down and he'll die. For the first week, air temperature should be maintained at 90-95ºF and a relative humidity of 55-65%. During the beginning of the second week, gradually reduce the temperature to 85ºF. During the third week; 80ºF. During the fourth week; 75ºF. Beyond five weeks, decrease temperature to 70ºF or the normal room temperature. Use common sense. If you can't turn up the room temperature, use small radiant heaters, or hot water bottles to keep the pup warm.
