How to feed a newborn puppy?

1. A puppy will be suckled as soon as it is born. Dog owners should let their newborn puppies lie next to their bitches in order to suck their milk.

If there are many puppies in a litter, the last puppy (usually thin and weak) should be sucked on the last two pairs of nipples. After repeated several times, each puppy will have a fixed nipple.

2. Be careful when eating and replenishing milk.

Antibodies have not yet been produced in newborn puppies, but at this time, bitches will secrete a lot of breast milk rich in various antibodies, so let newborn dogs eat enough colostrum. What's more worth mentioning is that colostrum contains a variety of antibodies (maternal antibodies) of bitches, which makes puppies acquire disease resistance. Therefore, newborn puppies should be fed colostrum as soon as possible (preferably within 1 hour).

3. When the puppy is a little older, the breast milk will sometimes be insufficient, so it is necessary to supplement the milk appropriately. It is forbidden to feed the puppy milk at this time, because the puppy's gastrointestinal function is very poor, and drinking milk at this time is very likely to cause diarrhea.

It is best to use special dog milk powder, and try not to use milk, otherwise the puppy will have diarrhea easily. After boiling and disinfection, feed it with a bottle at a temperature of about 27-30 degrees. Generally, there is no need to deliberately limit the amount of milk supplement until it is full.

Extended data:

Newborn puppies should pay attention to keeping warm. The indoor temperature should be above 23 degrees Celsius. When the room temperature is lower than 2 1 degree Celsius, a small electric blanket and a thermos bottle should be used to increase the temperature, but it must be wrapped with a towel to avoid scalding the puppy.

Generally, under no special circumstances, puppies, like babies, spend most of their time sleeping and nursing. If they bark or feel uneasy, consider whether the temperature is low. Under normal circumstances, will the bitch clean the toilet for the puppy on time? If the dog is not with his mother, it needs artificial promotion of excretion. Dip a soft facial tissue in warm water to see its urine and urine, and wipe it clean.

Dog's urine may be yellowish, BB should be goose yellow and sticky, and sometimes there will be undigested milk lumps. Because the milk is thick, the milk will be diluted, and the feeding amount and feeding times will be reduced. If it is normal, you should pee after each feeding, and BB should not exceed 4 times a day. ?
