9 weeks old and very tiny just a question around feeding this little guy i have bottle fed him since he was 3 days old a homemade formula of canned milkhigh fat yogurt ,karo syrup,1 raw egg, and vitiams he was 1.8ozs at birth and is now 9 weeks ol and weighs a whooping 1lb 2ozs at the vets today i have him on wet food mixed with the mix now and he is even trying some very smashed up crunchy food as he has not got all his teeth yet. just wondering if i should stop giving him the puppy milk or get it up as he is so small. any advice would be great . |
Sounds like you have done a good job and he has made amazing progress. I know nothing about this, but think you'd get more response if you posted in the breeders section. Good luck. |

He is very precious, but the "Breeders" section would be seen by those who can really help you and have experienced all of these things.:) |
When I brought Tia home, she was 8 oz and 10 weeks. I had her on crushed puppy food, softened with warm water. Within a week or two she started eating the dry all by herself. I offered her the crushed/softened, whole dry kebble softened, dry crushed, and dry whole kebble. She sampled them all. At 12 weeks, she grew to 1 lb 2 oz. I think you're doing great. Just keep that baby growing. I'm no expert though. Did the vet suggest you stop the milk? Tia stopped crushed kebble softened with puppy milk just days before coming home to me. I was told Tia wouldn't make 1.5 lbs. She just turned 8 months and is a little over 4 lbs. |
My Charm was 14 oz. at 11 weeks old and didn't have all her puppy teeth when I got her either. I feed her crushed up kibble in water and she did great with it crushed. 9 weeks I would ask in the breeder section to. Charm is now 5.5 months and weighted in today at 3 lbs finally! :D |
thanks everyone i will keep you up dated on him as we go |
