you shouldn't soak yorkie puppies food in milk. It can upset their little tummies. get some Esbiliac puppy supplement. Walmart has it a little cheaper than vets. When mine start getting in mom's food is when I start feeding. Mine are five weeks old now and just this morning had kibbles and puppy supplement for the first time. I put a cup of kibbles (so I have leftover) in my food processor and get it really fine, then soak it in water till soft, then add some puppy supplement. mine weren't too interested but they did eat some of it. You might have to hand feed or put it on your fingers and let them lick it off. Now, having said that, all this past week, they have had a mixture of Gerber baby rice cereal, mixed with warm water, puppy supplement and a few drops of karo syrup. Not much. You mix it until it is like gravy. yesterday, i put just a bite of wet puppy ceasers in the mix then this morning went to the kibble and supplement. i will do this about a week, then they will go on the dry ground kibble only until I am sure they won't get choked then we will go to dry kibble and still put mom in every two hours. Right now, mom is only away long enough to potty. That will all change tomorrow when I start taking mom out for a couple of hours, in a couple of hours and gradually have mom out all the time except at night. This is what works for me. others may do it differently. |
