2. Week old baby I need help - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Vickeryyorkie · 01-16-2013, 04:46 PM

Update on baby boy. On his 6:30 feeding. He sucked his bottle very good & I weighed him he is 4.7 oz. now & will be 3 weeks old tomarrow. Is that doing better. I have been feeding him more often now.

Glad to here it. Keep up the good work

Well he is 3 weeks & 1 day. His 10:00 pm feeding he was at 5.7 oz. this morning at 8:00am he was at 4.7 oz. we are peeing & pooing good . He seems to be sucking bottle better. At least most of his feedings. He still has slow feedings. At times. The baby girl is at 19 oz & she is 4 weeks old tomarrow. I will get pics soon. I am sorry but I threw out my back Monday. & it's been hard to get around thanks. Again for your help. I am glad I have a place to go & share my love for yorkies. They really are a great & beautiful breed.

I was just wondering how many calories is he getting per feeding? What formula is he using? He REALLY is gaining minimal amount of weight.....I am thrilled he is doing as well as he is....I was just wondering if his calories or his feedings were increased, he may thrive even a little bit better.

I usually start adding Royal Canin Puppy Mousse at 4-5 weeks of age...loosened up with a little goats milk....teach them to lick that up from a saucer....if that is something you do, that will increase baby's caloric intake too....

Farleys · 01-19-2013, 10:43 AM

What formula are you using?

Farleys · 01-19-2013, 10:45 AM

I have a homemade formula that i swear by. Better than any premade formula.
Have you had him checked by a veterinarian for a cleft palate?

Vickeryyorkie · 01-19-2013, 01:00 PM

I am using goats milk, just born milk, karo, yogurt , pedi light & baby vitamins
And I do have royal canin baby food in can. I was putting little bit in bottle. With other stuff mixed well with half water. Warm of course. & yes I have been feeding him more often. & he is sucking better not sure about cleft palette this morning at 10:00 I weighed him at 5.9 oz. he is growing & not loosing now so I feel I am doing better. His is my main concern. He seems to be more alert now as well. If y'all have a better food recipe. I would try it.

Farleys · 01-19-2013, 01:51 PM

10oz whole goats milk( or evaporated goats milk)
1 raw egg yolk
1 cup whole plain yogurt( not fat free)
1/2 tsp karo syrup
This is what i have used on puppies in very very poor dehydrated condition.
I trust it 100% and so does my vet.
It does not need any vitamins added or pedialyte.
Being a vet tech for 14 years, we came across many puppies almost dead

i have used other formulas and homemade mixes and this one by far produces the best results for me

Is your puppy very active? Can u see his bones? Do you have a pic to compare the two puppies?

You are using the same formula I have used for years.....just add a raw egg yolk to the solution....you are doing fine with the formula, but I would now take the Royal Canin Starter Mousse and put about a good tablespoon in a shallow saucer, and the take a fork and slowly mix in some of that warm formula until you get it the consistancy of a pudding....and let baby lick it off your finger, and then out of the shallow saucer. You will continue to feed with the bottle, but you need to start working on weaning to gruel baby food...that will help pull this baby over into the "thrive" column much faster!
