What is the best newborn puppy formula I have a 5 day old yorkie pup that I am bottle feeding. Mom developed severe mastitis an cannot nurse. Puppy currently weighes 6.5 oz. She weighed 6.0 oz at birth on 4/25, on 4/26 she weighed 6.6 oz, on 4/28 she weighed 6.7and now is 6.5oz. I am concerned that her weight is not increasing and appears to be slightly going down. Just started bottle feeding Monday....am feeding her Esbilac milk replacer supplement...is there anything else I can try? |
I would most definitely be asking a vet this question. There are no breeders on Yorkie Talk. |
I actually haven’t been on Yorkie Talk for several years and I thought I remembered there used to be breeders on here. Thank you for letting me know |
Yes, there used to be but not anymore, good luck with that sweet baby. |

Just wondering how your puppy is doing? I hope everything is going well now. I’ve bottle fed lots of puppies and kittens, and I know how difficult the schedule can be. |
Thank you all for your helpful responses. The little female Yorkie that we have been bottle feeding is now 3 weeks old as of this past Friday night and she has been steadily gaining weight. Saw our vet Wednesday as it appeared that she had a hard time keeping one eye open...found out she had a little infection that we are treating with an eye drop and a little antibiotic included in her formula. She is very active and starting to walk. She is the sweetest little baby! We have had litters before although this is the first time we have ever had to bottle feed. It has been such a wonderful experience watching her grow! |
So happy to hear that lil baby is doing well. Thank you for the up date. |
So happy to read this news! |
