My daschund just had puppies & it seems as if she's not producing any type of milk. I'm afraid the pups may die...And not sure what to give them to replace the milk

Well, we rescued a couple of squirrels over the years and we were always told to give them goats milk. You can buy the stuff in the grocery store. The squirrels lived and were re-introduced into the wild so the stuff can't be too bad.

if she isn't generating sufficient milk then bypass to a keep like Wal-mart and interior the puppy section you will locate formula for new child doggies and purchase some pup bottles to feed them with. additionally feed each and every 2-3 hours for the 1st few weeks, then progressively develop time between feedings to 4, then 5 hours as they get better. via the time they're 6 weeks they are going to be waiting to attempt pup foodstuff.

Go to the vet, or pet store and buy Milk Replacer. Your puppies WILL die if they aren't being fed every 2 hours. They will very quickly dehydrate and die. Go NOW!

Nothing truly replaces momma's milk, especially the first few days, as they get some serious antibodies from it. Pet stores do sell newborn puppy formula, if needed.

My suggestion is to go to the vet and get the proper replacement as well as how to care for the pups. They must be fed every two hours and stimulated to pee and poop. I wouldn't do anything without consulting a specialist. Feeding improperly can cause aspiration and the pups could die. Please be careful and go to an expert so you can be trained properly. It is a lot of work.

you can go to your vet and buy a kit with mild and a bottle and some vitamins. also wal mart sells puppy formula in the puppy section and you have to buy a bottle or two. weigh the puppies daily to make sure they aren't losing weight. My jack russell terrier got mastitis and i had to do this for 7 puppies. they all survived and are well today

Please buy "milk powder for puppy" and feed your daschund. Also feed your dog with puppy food so that she will have enough nutrition for the puppies. Hope that helps. :)

Go to the vet and ask there, they would probably have puppy formula there or at a local petstore.
