my 1 1/2 week old puppies?

Question

my dog precious is sick. about a week and a half she gave birth to 5 puppies but one died. she bearly started to shake and twitch today, she can't stop. my mom took her to the vet. what do i feed her little puppies while she is gone?

Answer 1

You can buy puppy formula at the pet store but you might want to ask the vet about bringing the pups to their mom. Some mother dogs will get worse ( they'll refuse to eat and get so agitated they'll be hard to handle ) when they're sick if they're separated from their pups. It sounds like her blood sugar went too low which happens fairly often after a long birthing and is easily treatable with a little glucose and rest.
Good luck and thank you and your mom for doing the right thing and getting her to the vet quickly.

Answer 2

I just went through having to feed a puppy like this. Go to the store and buy canned goat milk. You can also buy little tiny bottles for the puppies or eyedroppers. You have to feed the puppies every 2 or 3 hours until your dog can do it again. If you don't they won't make it.

Answer 3

You should have sent the puppies with the mother. Sounds like she may be low on calcium. or maybe even sugar. If I were you I would take the puppies to where the mom is. good luck!

Answer 4

go to the pet store and they have puppy formula in liquid form. There are also bottles you can buy to feed the puppies with.

Hope you dog Precious is ok. Please keep us posted.

Answer 5

In a desperate situation, I mixed regular milk with water and used a baby bottle for my German Shepherd puppies. They are all fine!
