I didn't give my pups their first shots until 8 weeks of age. 8, 12 and 16 weeks. However, that is why I asked you to see about the colestrum, that is unless the milk you're feeding has it in it. Colestrum is what gives the puppies antibodies.
I tricked him and put the nipple to his mouth and he opened up wide and I didn't see any hole, thankfully!! Do I add the Colostrum to his feedings? Or do I feed it separatly at different times? I guess I should order it and it will tell me on the container, lol..
