Ok...4 weeks old...my pups are still nursing only sooooooo with that said, here are some ideas for you:
..I would buy some moms milk replacer....and make that up for the pup. Served warm, but not hot...more like a babies bottle.
If the pup is drinking and lapping on its own then you can give it in a saucer, if not I would definatley bottle feed.
I would also get some nutrical or something simular.
Another suggestion is to take the dry kibble and put in in the blender and and blend it into small small small pieces.
You can also mash up canned food mixed with the milk replacer.
Don't be afraid to offer her a variety of different choices of food because you want to make sure this little one is eating and eating alot. They can go down fast and at 4 weeks old, she should still be getting mom's milk.
I hope some of these ideas will work for you. I use all of these when I wean my puppies to food, but they are still nursing at the same time as well.
She is adorable!!!

We have adobted a small girl from a breeder that had to get rid of her pups.
Pookie is around 4 weeks, we think. She is staring to get her K9 teeth in her upper mouth.
Breeder told us she is used to eat wet dry food so we are currently feeding her Purina Pro Plan Small Breed Puppy food with water.
She eats 5-6 times per day and drinks water.
Her poop started getting a little wet this morning.
She spends most her day sleeping in her crate or with us or Max her big brother. At night she sleeps in the bed room in her crate with a heater and with Max.
Now my question is, is it ok to feed her wet dry food in such an early age?
What else should we be feeding her?
Anything we should take into consideration?
Vet will open tomorrow and we will take her there for a check up but we are in China and Im afraid that will just give her some shots and send me home without advise!!! |
