Preferably with its mother's milk, but if the mom does not have enough milk or the puppy has been orphaned, you should give it some canine milk replacer. You can use plain goats milk, but I prefer this formula: You can make this formula at home and it has 11 calories per CC. The problem with commercial formula that you buy at your vet is that it only has about 1 or 2 calories per CC. In my opinion this is not enough nutrition to provide for adequate growth. We have used this formula many times and it works better than any others that I have tried. If you are hand raising puppies and they develop medical problems you will need to contact your vet. Here are some general rules for bottle feeding puppies: Always boil your water before using - allow time to cool. Burp your pups after feeding. A pup may have little bubbles by his mouth but there should not be milk running out of his mouth. When the bottle is held upside down the milk should drip out - NOT FLOW OUT in a stream - pups that get milk in their lungs will get pneumonia and more than likely die. Calorie intake needs to be adjusted according to growth of puppies. A general rule of thumb is 1 CC per OZ. of body weight every 3 hours. You must have an accurate scale to weigh pups if you are going to get the best success. Use a kitchen food scale. It is easy to see any weight gain or loss. Keep a record that you can easily refer to. BOTTLE FEEDING FORMULA 11 Calories per CC # 10 oz. of canned evaporated milk or goat's milk (not pasteurized cow's milk - this will cause scowers - dogs cannot drink normal cow's milk) Goats milk is by far the best to use. Wall Mart sells it. # 3 oz. sterilized water (baby water or boiled water) this is not needed if using goat's milk # 1 raw egg yolk # 1 cup of whole yogurt (avoid skim or fat free if at all possible) # 1/2 Tsp Karo Syrup or Corn Syrup (NOT HONEY!!!) 1 c Karo can be subbed with 1 c white sugar and 1/4 c hot water (cook it to dissolve in the water best you can get it to. Depending on the recipe, if you need the sugar to be completely dissolved you might need to add a bit more water). Place ingredients in a blender and blend or use a wire whisk. Be careful to not over blend and create a milk shake full of bubbles and then tube bubbles into the puppy. Keep cool and discard leftovers after 7 days. Warm formula to body temperature (dogs are around 101 degrees). Discard any un-used formula. This is a thick mixture - use a stomach tube to tube feed or enlarge the hole in the nipple for easy access for the pup.

buy puppy food from your local vet/supermarket and add milk so the dry food goes all big and soft so its easy to eat. however, some dogs may be sick or have diarrhoea from the milk so...

you can also use water. I boiled the water, then added it too the food and left it for 30mins to cool.

They should eat this 3 times a day

otherwise a sort of porridge will also be okay although you should slowly start introducing hard food (puppy dry food + milk/water)

p.s

the earlier you start giving your dog milk, the bigger the chance he/she will be fine after drinking milk
