What to feed a 5 week old puppy?
2nd Answer:
At 5 weeks, you can use a good name brand of dry puppy food and soften it first by letting it sit in some warm water. Then give to the puppy as a softened gruel. If you want to add some type of milk to it, use canned milk, mixed one part water to one part canned milk or use a regular puppy milk replacement such as Esbilac. Never use cow's milk as causes diarrhea. That is all that is needed to feed a 5 week old puppy. Offer food to the pup at least 4 times a day. The dry puppy food has more calories in it than canned puppy food. Just soften it up first and as the puppy gets older, then you can offer it just the dry puppy food, but be sure to use a good name brand, not some cheap grocery store puppy food.
1st Answer:
you can feed your puppy tin puppy food , cooked chicken things that are soft to chew and puppy milk as well is needed with every meal , Don't feed them hard biscuits as their digestive system at this age can not handle it , sometimes it can lead to constipation and if they push to hard they can get a prolapsed bottom witch needs to be surgery fix if it comes out all the way around . so stick to easy to digest foods, if you are worried about your pup getting the right type of food just check their poo make sure its not to hard or too runny a in between is what you want to see. I have raised pups from two weeks old on a bottle then about four and half to five weeks soft food and puppy milk they did really well on this, when the puppy is about six and a half weeks old try giving the pup samples of raw meat like dog mince to try and other soft foods until about eight weeks old and then at that age you can give the puppy biscuits (only puppy biscuits) a little at first . hope this helps you with your little puppy.
you should NOT be feeding dry food at five weeks they should still be drinking their mothers milk till about 9 weeks

Possible Illness or reasons - Kidney disease, adrenal gland disease, diabetes
I disagree. Ferrets for Dummies, as well as a number of other sources say it's a normal, if somewhat disgusting, habit. If the ferret had diabetes, I might think it's possible due to spilling of sugar into the urine, but diabetes is very rare in ferrets. Where did the person who posted above get this information? Information was derived from the Ferret Health List (FHL) Yahoo groups
Where do get Maltese puppies in Dubai?
Answer 1.
I got my Maltese from pet mania.
Answer 2.
There are many bulk importers of small breeds of dogs including Maltese into Dubai from all over the world. However, i found that Pets Habitat LLc in Barsha is the only one that claims that they bring 'only home raised' puppies with certification that the puppies are free from heart murmur, eye issues, luxating patellas / loose knee problems, cleft pallets or any such serious health issue. Their price is not very low. Around 10,000 but i do know of friends who vouch for their claims to be absolutely true and they provide written detailed vet reports from leading vets of UAE. For example, a loose knee correction surgery in Dubai can set you back by AED 4-5000 if not detected early. If you are concerned about the origin and health status of the pup then i believe Pets Habitat is the best place to buy a small breed puppy in Dubai..

Breeders are careful not to over breed their Maltese, because when they are over bred they grow up to have severe health problems.
