This is my formula that I adjusted from Leerburg's formula....I have supplemented many babies over the years with this formula....I had a nutritionist calculate the calories for me...1cc = 16 calories. I have not lost a puppy since I started giving this formula.
8 oz Just Born with Colostrum
4 oz Pedialyte
1 raw egg yolk
3 tbsp. Dr. Miller's Nutra Drops
I warm up an oz of this formula at a time, and to the WARM formula, I add 1 teaspoon of whole live cultured yoguart.....(not HOT formula, or it will kill the live cultures in the yoguart.)
Mix this formula up in a covered jar and keep refridgerated....I use it for 5 days, then discard and make fresh. I give 1cc/oz of body weight, starting from day 1 of birth...usually I tube feed my weak babies, that way I know for certain how much they are getting, and can follow their weight gain very closely. I start feeding every 2 hours, around the clock...after 2-3 days, I will go to every 3 hours, then every 4 hours....you will see a dramatic improvment in the enfant! THANK YOU LEERBURG FOR THE BASIS FOR THIS FORMULA! |
