Oh, and I would definitely feed wet puppy food....maybe Canidae or Nature's Variety.

Mother's replacement milk; Either Esbilac or Just Born... Week 3 attempt mixing Gerber's rice ceral with mother's replacement milk and a bit of Karo syrup. Make sure all is at room temperature.

These little guys don't have their teeth in yet...so every thing should be kept at a liquidie consistency.

Becareful with over doing the NutriCal...

Pups are just beginning to retain their own body temperature, so keep them warm.

Shots shouldn't be attempted until they are 8 weeks of age. Tell them to keep them away from people until 10 days after their first innoculations, only to be handled by them and make sure that when they do that their hands are clean. Keep bedding clean....

Take a stool sample to the vets...oh! they must learn to diaper these pups, as their bodily functions probably aren't functioning normally yet.

You guys need to get some Ebilac and a syringe or baby bottle and start feeding these puppies. I dont think 2 weeks is old enough to be feeding regular puppy food even if it is ground up. If they arent going potty by themselves, you need to stimulate them to do so also. Good luck!!!!

This is why I think they are more like 4 weeks they are walking around, eating canned food and pooing abd peeing on thier own....I have no idea what vet said 2 weeks, but i really think they are off a bit. the little boy was even chasing his own tail...at 2 weeks motor skills would not be that up to par. Am i thinking right here???

I second, the puppy formula. I had an orphaned kitten (2 weeks old) and bottle fed him. Also, just a thought but would one of the vet technicians at the hospital be willing to keep the pups at the hospital and take care of them. The vet tech. would be more experienced and the pups would be close to a vet. in case? A lot of times they will volunteer to do this. Maybe you could call and ask. Elaine

P.S. I would also call and report whoever sold these pups this young. Damn that makes me mad. Elaine

Check on the lemon law in the state where these pups were obtained. Most states have a law that pups can't be sold until 6 weeks of age.

I hope they do listen to you, so the puppies don't die. I would definetly confront the woman selling them.

I am not familiar with babies of those breeds but if they are running around and chasing their tails I would think they are older than 2 weeks old. I think if it were me I would still do the Esbilac for a while. It couldnt hurt and who knows how these guys were taken care of before now so they may need the extra nutrients anyway.

I agree with you all. I do not believe these pups are 2 weeks, but ARE too young to be from mom. They are pooing and peeing. I Do know how to raise orphaned cats witht he having to stimulate them to potty and feed through syringe and all. When I was 14 I was given a cat from the pound that was 3-4 weeks old and they said he had distemper Took him to the vet they doctored him up as much as possible yet vets exact words to me were if he makes it through the night it will be a miracle. Well 2 years ago I had Punk put to sleep at the ripe old age of 19 and 7 months! He was 23 pounds and a Giant love ball! I rarely slept and I tube fed and stimulated every 2 hours. He was raised on goats milk, crushed kibble, bread and sugar. Im not sure if replacement formula was even available then but I made up my own stuff and it worked! When I leave work I am printing this thread and giving it to the parents and the kids who adopted these babies and praying they all do the right thing. I feel they will. I am checking law in Michigan for what age pups can be sold now I wanna try and shut this lady down, HARD!

I found this?????? it may help still looking tho.

Contact your local humane society, they should know.

If they are lapping up food, they should be fine. Puppies can be weaned as early as 3 weeks if it is necessary. I weaned mine on canned goats milk and baby rice cereal. then gradually added canned food, a tiny bit at first then gradually increased.
