Newborn puppies do have a scent, but it is not typically a foul odor. The scent is usually a combination of the mother's milk and the puppies' natural pheromones. This scent helps the puppies bond with their mother and siblings.
I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for but I know that a dog replacement milk is a milk that can be use to give to puppies when the mom can't produce enough milk or when the mom is no longer alive. Puppies are not allowed to drink milk except for this milk.
It is not recommended for the mother dog to nurse her other puppies after consuming a dead puppy. This can lead to health risks for the remaining puppies, such as infection or toxicity. It is best to consult a veterinarian for guidance in this situation.
Yes, puppies can be allergic to their mother's milk. This can be due to a variety of factors such as the mother's diet, medications she may be taking, or health conditions she may have. If you suspect a puppy is having an allergic reaction to mother's milk, it's important to consult a veterinarian for proper diagnosis and treatment.
For the first few weeks, puppies are nursed on milk produced by the mother dog. As the pups develop they need to start transitioning to solid food. If assistance from the breeder is not available to produce gruel for the puppies to eat, the mother dog will eat and partially digest food which she then vomits for the puppies to eat. This sustains the puppies while they practice eating solid food until they are able to digest it themselves.
6-8 weeks
Puppies should not drink non-fat dry milk as it lacks the essential nutrients required for their growth and development. Puppies have specific dietary needs that are best met through a high-quality puppy milk replacer or their mother's milk. It's important to consult with a veterinarian to ensure that puppies are receiving the proper nutrition for their age and breed.
Dogs should only drink clean water, or if they are young puppies, they should drink their mother's milk. If the mother has abandoned the puppies, sometimes they are given a special puppy formula.
