Continued from last week
Today we continue where we left off last week when we discussed the provision of a suitable hygienic environment and nutrition for the newborn puppies.
The feeding schedule
It is better to underfeed than to overfeed orphan puppies. In hand-feeding, it is a good policy to underfeed slightly during the period when the puppy is most susceptible to digestive disturbances, and to increase the caloric intake gradually to near ad lib feeding after three weeks of age. The feeding can be done with a dropper or syringe.
If the formula approaches the composition of bitch’s milk, you need not feed the puppy more
