Donating YT 4000 Club Member | Goat's milk mixed with a high quality puppy can pate food, mix to an oatmeal consistency and feed with your finger, she needs to learn to eat from a dish, dip your finger in the food scoop a bit and put it in her mouth,open her mouth and put it in her tongue if necessary.. this baby belongs with her doggy mom, way too young to be away from her... hugs and best of luck.. |

| Five weeks? Poor thing! I think she'd need to be on milk longer b/c that has ample amount of sugar. What did the vet say to feed her? You need to be SOOOO very careful because when they are little their blood sugar can quickly lower causing them to go into shock. I'd try to feed this baby every chance I got even with an eye dropper! Good luck!
