My puppies are 18 days old and the Vet. said I should start teaching them to lap up liquid (puppy formula). They will lap a little out of my hand however will not lap up out of any container or baby spoon. How long does it take for them to learn this? I've been having them lap out of my hand for about 5 days and always offer the spoon, so they can learn how to lap out of a plate or bowl. thanks for any suggestions!
