Wow... thanks all for your advice, i think i'll start of with feeding them with milk(purchase from off the shelves type) and try looking for their mommy... If I'm not wrong, think the mommy always roams around my area.... thanks again all..... god bless

Answer 1

First, if I would strongly recommend taking them to a vet. Especially if you have any other pets in the home. Even though they are active they might still be carrying something you wouldn't want around you and your pets. Call around, some vets do "new pet" checkups for free or at a reduced cost. And tell them how you came to have this puppies and some vets will reduce their cost because you have a big heart.

Second, I would go to your local pet store (Petsmart is always very knowledgeable) and get the recommend supplement.

Third, there is a website I've put below that has every type of rescue group anywhere in the nation, they could be a huge help, even if just to answer questions. Good luck

Answer 2

Um. I am confused. I really hope that this is a joke. But what do you mean about BYBs answering questions? (I haven't been on lately) Unfortunately, I have seen too many questions like this before... I wish people would just stop being so stupid and ignorant and learn from peoples advice. I wish people could just get their darn animals spayed and neutered. And I also wish, that when people buy/adopt animals, they really though about the future and not just "oh look a cute little kitten" and then two years later dump them at a shelter because they are moving or god-forbid-their boyfriend is allergic. Sheesh. =D

Answer 3

Give your local vet a call, you might want to take them in and have them checked out as far as age goes... he or she could also tell you if they have fleas or other parasites you should get rid of so they don't get sick. Depending on how old they really are... some breeds are ready to try canned or soaked dry puppy chow at 3 weeks (big breeds or some terriers) while other breeds aren't ready for regular food (and will need milk replacer) until 6 weeks.

Good luck!

Answer 4

well call a vet. for puppies so young they need their moms milk still and i think in a few weeks you can give them dry food. but you have to crush it up with some milk or water because their teeth are not very strong yet.

ps- you are a good person for doing this, wish there were more people like you around! :o)

Answer 5

If they are a larger size puppy, I would get some dry puppy food, soak it in warm water to soften it up, then pour some puppy formula on top of it. You can buy the puppy formula from the vet or pet store. Like another poster said, it would also be a good idea to take them to the vet to be checked out good. Good luck with the little ones.

Answer 6

Call SPCA. Let the authorities handle them. These ppies may be infected and need professional care. Go through them first and adopt them if you want after that.

Answer 7

Call a veterinarian's office. They should be able to eat soft food. Good luck with them, glad you found them.

Answer 8

The person that said go to your SPCA..I admire him They are usually a free service and they can help you>>A lot of people will say take the pups to a vet. I work a minimum wage job so I cannot afford a vet but they care as much as a vet that charges money you may not have to spend..I only make 515 A hour but I send the ASPCA 10 dollars a month...They are good people Thank God there are people like you and them.You are doing a good job..Have them checked out you will find really caring people..GOD BLESS>>>>>>>>>>

Answer 10

they sell puppy milk at walmart and most feed stores. they can also have soft food. feed them with med. surnge for kids, and the soft food, sorry to say, may have to be feed by hand at first. the final & most inportant thing is to potty them. it may be grose, but they will die if they don't go. you need paper towls, wet w/ warm water and wipe the privates & butt with strokes if the mom was licking them! don't worry, the potty thing will not need to be done anymore by about 6weeks. walch for them going on thier own.
