How to feed a newborn dog? Prepare pet-specific milk powder for the dog in advance, as well as feeding bottles or syringes, and sterilize them; brew the milk powder with boiling water at about 50 degrees, and adjust the milk according to the dog's feces The thickness of the milk; when feeding the dog, let the dog's front feet rest on the palm of the hand, and do not feed the milk while lying on the back, as the dog will easily choke.
Purchase pet milk powder in advance
You can buy dog-specific milk powder in pet stores or online shopping malls, usually goat milk powder. Compared with cow's milk, goat's milk is closer to the mother's milk and is easier for newborn puppies to absorb.
Sterilizing baby bottles
Before artificial breastfeeding for the first time, put the bottle, nipple or syringe into boiling water to sterilize.
Brewing milk powder
After boiling the water, wait until the water temperature drops to about 50℃ before brewing milk powder. The best eating temperature for newborn puppies is 30℃-37℃. The thicker the milk is not, the better. You can know whether the brewed milk is suitable by observing the state of the newborn puppies' feces. If the feces is too hard, you can make the milk thicker (note, "thicker"); otherwise, make the milk thicker. A little lighter. When done right, newborn puppy poop resembles soft, elongated dough.
Breastfeeding posture
When feeding, you can let the front feet of newborn puppies rest on your palm, because newborn puppies are used to using their two front feet to massage the mother dog's breasts when sucking milk, so that the milk can flow continuously. It cannot be fed on its back like a human baby, otherwise the newborn puppy will easily inhale the milk into the trachea and choke to death.
Wipe the anus
After feeding, it is best to wipe the area around the anus of the newborn puppy with an alcohol cotton ball to stimulate it to defecate in time.
Breastfeeding frequency
Feed every 2 hours during the day and every 4 hours at night. If it is to supplement the lack of breast milk, artificial feeding during the day is enough; at night, the dog can be guided to suck breast milk.
After a newborn puppy drinks milk, its belly will bulge like a frog, which means it is full.
Ten days after birth, the newborn puppies will gradually open their eyes. At this time, you can put the prepared milk into a plate and guide the newborn puppies to lick; after 25 days of age, you can add some broth and Rice porridge; 30 days old and add cooked minced meat and vegetable soup.
