I guess in a pinch you could, but I'd really try to get that puppy formula ASAP!

All babies are different, but maybe your baby is having some other issues like gas pain or colic? Seems alot for a month old baby to be eating every couple hrs. Try a warm cloth to the tummy and rock her/him to sleep with a pacifier instead of feeding every time it's awake. It should have this amount every 3-4 hrs, if it's before that then try something else. Warm bath, then swaddle and hold for a bit. You could try the gas aid drops and the warm cloth, as well as bicycle type movements of the legs to help.

Puppies have differant nutritional needs than babies do, It is not a good idea to feed baby formula. They do have a supplement for puppies u can buy especially for puppies and it does not cost much more than baby formula. Esbilac is a good one, and u can go to a farm supply and they carry puppy milk also. Do not feed baby formula.

NO.... is formulated completely different than what a young puppy needs. Will cause loose bowels and isn't digested as easliy as a milk replacer for puppies. Can cause a lot of problems you don't need. A puppy that old can also be eating mush dog food instead of milk. It is old enough if needed. Try a canned wet puppy food mixed with milk replacer....it is by far the best for the puppy.

No you cannot give him milk. It won't kill him but he will get horrible diarrhea and then he'll be hungry and smelly. You can give him dog food. Either wet, or if you only have hard use some water and make it soft for him to eat. If you dont have that you CAN give some boiled chicken and rice, but thats only if you cant get dog food or puppy formula.

Cut it in half with water. If puppy gets diarrhea cut it more but bitches milk is best.

Baby formula probably won't hurt. Try watering it down slightly if it's too strong, but puppy formula is better. They sell it cheaply at Wal-Mart.

Get to a pet store ASAP and get the right stuff or your puppy will get sick.
