Any left in the measuring cup could go back in the pitcher I had in the fridge. But if there was some left in the bottle or syringe, it went down the sink. Any left out over an hour got thrown out too.

You are doing right with warming it in warm water. That is the safe way -- stay away form warming in the microwave.
Okay thats what I thought and have been doing. I was going to keep him on the milk from the vet because he seems to be doing well on it. But I keep hearing about goats milk, but one person said goats milk actually killed her puppy, geez I don't know what to do.. And if I did decide to go to goats milk were would I get it, I know revivil carriers it but he'll be 2 weeks old by the time it gets here.
