QuestionI got my puppy early because mother had infection in her milk..He is only five weeks old.I don't think I'm feeding him enough,and with not being able to get mothers milk should i be giving him milk.How often should I feed him and should I be giving him milk?
AnswerThe puppy is old enough to be eating puppy food. Pups are typically weaned between 3-4 weeks. Buy a good quality puppy kibble and soak it in warm water until you can mash it up. About 1/2 cup four times a day should be a good start. No milk is necessary. IF you wanted to, you could use a canine milk replacer like esbilac and add some to the soaking kibbles or goats milk. BUT NO COW MILK.
