Early this morning, I gave her a few oz. of replacement milk, and she did well, so a few hours later I made her some baby rice cereal with the formula. The a few hours after that I offered her some puppy food, and she has eaten everything I gave her. Yesterday at 4:30 or so he weighed 4.4 oz, and today around 11:00 a.m. he weighed 4.6 oz. |
It seems to me that she is way to young to start giving her cereal and puppy food. I am not sure her digestive system will be able to handle it. My recommendation would be to get her to nurse as much as possible and then supplement with puppy formula.
