QuestionMy puppy is exactly 5 weeks old today. I have had him for about 7 hours and can't get him to eat or drink anything. He has teeth and is feisty, but won't eat. Do I offer a bottle? What do I feed him and how? I was trying to feed him Pedigree puppy food soaked in warm water.
AnswerHello: As long as he is drinking..... give him some time tonight. This little one was just taken away from his pack... He should have stayed with mom for another 2-3 weeks. ( if possible)
Go to the store and buy some Puppy Formula and a syringe to feed with. Put the dog food into the puppy formula and soak it.
If he WON'T eat this, then give him 2 -3 cc of formula by syringe every hour when awake.
If he won't do any of the above.....Go see VET or bring him back to mamma for feeding.
Good Luck
