Question
we found a newborn pitbull and we dont know how often to feed it or what to do without its mama.but we wanna keep and raise it.what do we need to do?

Answer
Hi Marie:  Please get the baby checked out by a vet ASAP.
Just to make sure all is well....
You will need to be feeding every 2-3 hours with puppy formula... You can buy pup formula at any vet office or pet store.

Your pup will take 2 ounces every 2-3 hrs by bottle or syringe.

A vet can walk you thru all of this!
Good Luck!!!  Have Fun... They eat on a 24 hr cycle.... until they are 4-5 weeks old.


Thanks and BEST Wishes
