~~ My Baby Want Eat ~~

[Peek-A-Boo Momm]

Yesterday Alex ate pretty good but this moring he just turned his nose up at everything I gave him. I tried his food, wet food by it self, wet food with dry food, dry food with water in it, baby rice cereal, apple sauce and cottage cheese. Is there anything else I can feed him -- he doesn't have any teeth yet so it will have to be something soft. At what age do their baby teeth come in -- he is 6 weeks old. Can I get the puppy milk from Wal-mart and give him some of that. I tried the honey and water and he turnes his nose up at it. He is active loves to play and sleep. He got up one time last night to go potty. Any Advise Please! The only store I have access to today is Wal-mart! He only takes about 2 bites and he is done -- I would like him to eat alittle more.

Thanks Ladies -- You are the best!

Six weeks is really young for him to have been taken away from his mom. Most people won't let them go till their 12 weeks, because their still weaning off the mom. If he doesn't have any teeth he's going to turn up his nose, because he can't eat it. You're going to have to get him on some formula (I'm sure others will tell you what kind), and you'll have to bottle feed him. Good luck.

Wow he sure is young! Did something happen to his mom that he is no longer with her? I have no experience with a newborn puppy that doesn't even have teeth yet. The youngest puppy that I have ever owner was our Lab who was 8 weeks, was weened and had teeth. Have you taken him to the vet yet? If not I would make sure he goes first thing tomorrow to be fully checked out. Also, since he is so tiny I would think that someone in the breeders section would be able to answer your questions regarding who to feed such a young puppy for the time being.

I've read boiled chicken and rice (mash it up), or chicken or turkey baby food (nothing with onions or garlic). Do you have Nutrical on hand just in case you need it?

I know nothing about puppy formula's or milk. I'm just trying to help.
