| New puppies! Question about feeding Well, my husband and I pulled an all nighter last night. Annie had 5 females and 2 males. Mom and babies seem to be doing well but some of the pups are awfully tiny. So far the pups all seem to be nursing and the mom has milk. I read somewhere recently that a homemade formula with condensed milk, egg yolk and karo syrup works as well as the store bought formula. Do any of you have a recipe for a homemade formula? I have read on another thread that Nursemate Colostrum Supplement is a good supplement. I was just wanting to get some ideas about supplementing the pups. |

| If you search the thread, you will find some recipes for supplementing. Also, the Pet stores carry puppy formula. Are you weighing them to see that they are gaining? I weigh mine at least twice a day for the first two weeks. A postal scale or just a food scale works great. Make sure they are gaining and they are kept warm. Hope this helps. Keep us posted. That is a great size litter!!
