Change to Canned Goats Milk (you can obtain it at WahlMart), equal parts of distilled water. You can add a bit a Karo (light syrup), I usually don't. Serve at room temperature. I use a syringe with a puppy preemie nipple atttached. Less air and you can control and document the amount of milk the pup is getting. Also, make sure you are burping. Goats Milk is the closest thing to mother's milk....You will definately see a weight gain within a couple of days.
