I posted this on another thread for some one else that was bottle feeding her little one. so Ill just copy and paste it here for you.
when you bottle make sure the milk dosent come out of their nose? The milk should drip out slowly when the bottle is held upside down. If it runs out the pup could choke or aspirate (breath in) the milk. do not hold pup laying on its back and let it feed from bottle, make sure its always on its tummy. and never feed a cold pup.
I would also be giving this babies nutri drops.
Newborn puppies are not yet able to regulate their own body temperatures and feeding a cold puppy will do more harm than good as they can not digest it when cold. Keep puppy on a heating pad covered by a towel.. The puppy's temperature should be around 97 degrees. Never feed a puppy who is 94 degrees or lower.warm them up first.
please keep us updated on mom and pups. |
