The mother isn't able to feed the puppy and we've been feeding him puppy formula, but we ran out and were wondering if we should wait til the morning to get him some more formula or would it be ok to give him regular milk?
Thanks

No never regular milk--it will give him diarrhea--wait until morning--or give a little powdered milk if you have it .

I'm sorry for the Loss of the Two Puppies! I would have thought the Mother would have eaten the Runt out of all of them! But this is an unusual case, however, I do not reccommend you continue feeding the Pup who is being rejected, Cows milk... Would you feed a newborn baby Cows milk as soon as it hits 5 weeks? You do need either goats milk or Special milk... It has some sort of substance within it that provides Pups with the nutrients to give them that real "Head start" On life! To grow big and strong! ... That's not going to happen with cows milk, im sorry to say... Also, a syringe is fine! I appreciate you coming forth with your Questions as surely you understand it's not right, that's why you've posted! As many will agree, including me! This is what you should be doing! Good luck with whatever you decide to do, whether it not be for the best :) x

It all depends on if your dog is lactose intolerant or not i think it is probably a good idea to just wait until the morning to get more formula.If you do decide to feed your puppy the milk watch out for diarrhea which your puppy could end up having.

No this is what you should do
DO NOT GIVE COWS MILK...
If for some reason you can not obtain puppy milk replacement you can mix a formula. It consists of one-half cup evaporated whole milk, one half cup boiled water, one teaspoon full of corn oil, one drop of pediatric multivitamin (Visorbin or equivalent), two raw egg yolks and a tablespoon full of plain whole yogurt. For some reason, formulas based on evaporated milk cause less diarrhea and indigestion than those based on fresh cow’s milk. Adding a quarter of a lactase tablet to each batch of formula helps the puppy digest the large amount of lactose present in cow’s milk.

Goat's milk is better than cow's milk. Call the vet for advice about how long a baby puppy can wait for food.

Don't use cow's milk. Go with Eurobichon's recipe until you can get some more formula in the morning.
