It is also high in calories and meant for dogs who are recovering from being sick or surgery or whatever. It will put some weight on him which he needs right now. You can also syring that into him if need be. BUt please force feed him if you cannot get him to eat, he needs the food right now. |
One of the breeders here said that this is not something vets do, as a breeder you must be willing to stay up with the puppy and feed it every few hours because this is your responsibility. Vets treat illness, but this is something like premature babies, where you need a nursing staff.
To the OP, hope everything is going okay, and please give us an update when you get a chance.
