Go to the pet store and buy some Esbilac, a replacement formula for puppies. Follow the instructions on the can. DO NOT give them milk. Their tummies can't handle it at all.

NO.
Buy replacer puppy formula. Any form of cow milk will give him serious diarrhea and cause dehydration, which is very dangerous for such a young dog. Get to a vet or petsmart ASAP and get puppy formula, there's nothing else safe for a dog so young.

I has the same thing happen to me. We had to feed 5 pups for almost a month every couple of hours. Rather than buy the expensive formula, we found a recipe from a breeder.
1 can evaporated milk
one egg
one teaspoon Caro syrup-this is so the wont get diarrhea
1/2 cup of distilled or baby water
mix and give to puppy's. you may have to put some on your finger and put it to there mouths so they can taste it. This worked for me. Good luck!!

Your best bet is to contact a veterinarian right away. Other than that, go to the local pet store and they should have milk supplements available for purchase. Milk can cause digestive problems but I suppose may work for a short term fix until you can locate something else.

When my dog had her first litter she had 13 puppys so we called the vet and he told us how to make this kind of milk i cant remember what all was in it tho.. We had to use an eye dropper so call your vet and he will tell you everything you need to know...

Any pet store, and even WalMart has puppy formula available in cans all ready made....I think that would be best. Cows milk will give your puppies diarrhea.....good luck!

You need to get special formula made for nursing puppies and nursing bottles as well.

DONT GIVE IT NORMAL MILK. normal milk is not the same as the mothers milk, go to your vet and ask him/her. you can try formula
