I do this about 3 times a day if mommy is feeding the puppy too and they are just small. If they are orphaned or unable to nurse from mother you would need to do this 8-10 times, thru day and night for several weeks.
Increasing the milk with age of the puppy and size.
Just what I do, hope this might give you some help if you need it some day.

Is the honey for the tendency of hypoglycemia? Thanks so much for the in depth procedure. Never having done this before, I can visualize it as I read your post.
