The most common reasons that lead to having to feed a newborn puppy are abandonment or rejection of the bitch and although it is a wonderful experience, we emphasize the importance of the bitch who suck him. If you find yourself in this situation, read and follow all the recommendations we give you, because the risk of them perishing is high, learn how to feed a newborn puppy.
1. The main cause of death in puppies is incorrect feeding.
If we have found newborn dogs on the street we must keep in mind that it is very likely that they will not survive as they need to be fed every 3 or 4 hours. If they lack any of the shots, the chances of survival fall drastically.
2. How do I feed a newborn dog?
We will go to a clinic or veterinary center quickly and after commenting on the case they will provide us without any problem artificial milk formula. However, you can also make homemade milk in your home, an emergency solution, until you go to the specialist.
We must get different bottles, one for each member of the litter. It is important that everyone has their own, because in case of pneumonia or another type of disease, it would be transmitted very easily from one to another.
We will warm the milk briefly and check that it is warm.
We will catch the first puppy and (with the teat full of milk without a drop of air) we will stimulate him to wake him up. It will be in the normal position of the dog, on "four legs" we will never hold it like a human baby, and finally we will administer the milk (about 10 milligrams).
No matter what you consume a little more, what is important is that we never feed you below those amounts.
We will be very attentive at the time of supplying milk and if we observe that it makes an excessive noise, strange or else that expels the milk through the nose we will go immediately to a veterinary clinic. These are symptoms that the milk has gone to the lungs. That is why we emphasize the importance of not cradling him like a baby.
After the ingestion, with a cotton garment or a wet wipe for newborn babies, we will massage the genitals and observe that at that same moment he pees and poops. This procedure is done by the dog with the tongue in normal conditions. It is important that we do not forget this step.
Finally and after all the puppies have been fed we will wash the bottles with boiling water, without using any detergent. To know which is of each puppy, we can make a mark or buy them in different colors.
Once the feeding process of each one of the litter dogs has finished, they will go back to the basket that should follow the temperature indicated in the inside section. We will never stop feeding a single dog, even if we see him asleep or apathetic.
It is very important that we continue with the milk intake every 3 to 4 hours, otherwise the newborn dog could die. Also, we should never save more than 12 hours of milk that we have left over.
