Best Answer

A puppy will nurse from its mom until roughly 6 to 7 weeks. If the Mom is not nursing her pups at 4 weeks something is wrong with the mom, get her to a vet immediately.

After the pups are 6 weeks you may offer them baby cereal in the morning made with goats milk, NEVER regular milk, not skim, only goats milk or puppy replacement. At lunch and dinner mix a little canned pedigree for puppies with warm water, make sure its for puppies. Feed them this in a VERY shallow dish as they will fall into this and could possibly drown.

When giving water depending on the size of the pup, it should be no deeper than half the size of their nose.

Remember, these pups are like babies, you need to use your head.

If the mother is still nursing, you can supplement by feeding about 3-4 times a day with dog food. You need to soak the dog food in warm milk until it is soft and mushy. They don't have the jaw strength to chew food until they are about 6 weeks old.

They can go awhile, around 8 hour

They can NEVER go 8 hours! They need to nurse every 2 to 3 hours. They need 1 cc for every 3 oz of body weight.

What to do about flaky skin on 8 week old puppy?

A healthy normal 8 week old pup should not have flaky skin. I recommend you take your pup in to be checked out by a Veterinarian. The pup should be dewormed and put on a good name brand of dry puppy food, not a cheap generic food. Feed the pup twice a day. Make sure he or she is up to date on their vaccinations and on a monthly heartworm preventative. This is one of the many good reasons to take your pup (along with a small sample of his or her feces to be checked for parasites) to the Veterinarian.

What can happen mom shun puppy before 6 weeks?

Your pup can be weaned as young as 4 weeks of age. Ideally the pup should remain with his or her Mom up to 8 week of age but if she is ignoring the pup, then wean the pup. Do not let the pup nurse off of its Mother, so her milk can dry up. Feed the pup a good name brand dry puppy food. Soften it at first with warm water, feed 2-3 times a day, all that it can eat within about 10 minutes, pick up any left over food. As the pup gets older, feed it the dry puppy food without it being softened with water.
