rich color and shiny coats! Look healthy have you given Liver Water?
Give Mom Mother's Pudding and Corn Muffins to help with milk production.
Here is the recipe for Liver water for fading puppies and puppy milk from the repo board.
You can also give them FFP
Beef Liver Remedy For Fading Puppies
Large piece of Beef Liver-little bit of water-boil slowly, about 5 minutes until the blood comes out.
Let cool-drain the liquid and put just 4 drops (no matter the breed) into a
dropper and give to puppy. At first you give it every 2 hours for 12 hours, then every 4 hours. You can do this for however long you have to until you feel the puppy is thriving.
Don't use any of the liver itself-it's way too rich--just the liquid.
Puppy Milk
One 10 can of goats milk
3 oz of Liver water (above)
One raw egg yolk
One cup of whole fat live culture yogurt
One tablepoon of mayo or canola oil
One dropper of infant vitamins
One teaspoon of Karo...light or dark...doesn't matter which
Mix in a blender, keeps in your fridge for 7 days. This is a thick formula, so adjust holes in nipples if necessary. It can be tubed. It has 10-12 calories per cc which should allow for good weight gain on your babies.
This is my thought on this formula
It is thick enough to avoid aspiration
There is enough yogurt to avoid diarrhea issues that are so common with tubing
There is enough glucose to avoid hypoglycemia
There is also enough glucose to avoid constipation, common with tubing
There are enough calories to set up a weight gaining pattern immediately
Amino Acids in sufficient quantities to avoid juvenile cataract
It is high in Fats, Proteins and Carbs with vitamins, minerals and iron and designed especially to head off the problems we all seem to have with tubing/hand raised babies.
