Just born puppy formula ??? Hello everyone, I'm not sure if I'm posting in the correct section but I'll still give it a try, as many of you know I have a new litter they turned 1 week today, I am having a bit of trouble with the mom, she seems to run out of milk. The puppies are doing great really chubby, but I wanted to give her a hand just to make sure they dont go hungry, I went out to petco to buy them formula and they didnt have Esbilac, all they had was just born, and K9 something, I decided on the just born but wanted to know if anyone here on yorkietalk has used it. Please advise me on what I should do, I already bought Nutri Cal for The momma. Thank You, Talina |

What makes you think mom is running out of milk? Are you weighing the pups every day? If so as long as they are gaining I wouldn't supplement the puppies as the more they suck the more milk mom should produce. Also is this a big litter? |
I check her every once in a while and she has very little milk, the puppies nurse but still whine a little after, we have a litter of 3, but they eat all day, Mom has never been a big eater. So i guess that might be a factor. As far as weighing them I have been and they have been gaining weight and are super active, they move around all day. |
As long as they are gaining I wouldn't supplement |
