How to care for very young stray puppy
Hi all,
I'm currently living abroad and just found a very young stray puppy. Based on her looks and ability to walk I'd estimate she's about 4 weeks old, but a malnourished 4 weeks at that (she looks like a 3 week old puppy). My question is about what to feed her. Dog food or puppy formula like Esbilac simply isn't available here, and I've been reading that cow's milk could dehydrate her. Our other dog (another female stray, this one found at 8 weeks: apparently female puppies here get discarded so that they won't grow up and give birth to more puppies.) gets mainly rice and meat. Any suggestions about food in particular and care in general would be greatly appreciated. Adam |

This was shared with me: Puppy formula 1 can evaporated milk
1 tbsp honey 
2 cans water 
1 tbsp whipping cream 
2 pkg knox gelatine 
2 egg yolks But that's for really baby puppies... Older pups can't process cow's milk, although we've fed dogs more than their share of cottage cheese with no ill effect... Goats milk ... |
