How to feed puppies milk powder? How many meals a day?
15 days ago, take it once every 2 to 3 hours. It’s a very small amount at a time. Just use a syringe to put it into your mouth. It’s enough to be seven to eighty percent full. Never drink milk.
After 15 days, just once every 4 hours is enough. When feeding, you need to wet the soft cloth and wipe the poop area of the puppy to help defecate.
For milk, it is best to drink goat's milk. You can wean the dog when he is almost one month old. Give the dog milk cake, soak the milk softly or soak it in warm water and feed it.
A 1-month-old dog can be fed 4-5 times a day with multiple small meals, and by the time it is 2 months old, it can be fed an average of about 3 times a day.
Things to note:
Puppies should live a regular life. Feeding should be regular and quantitative, and nutrition should be balanced. Don't let puppies develop bad habits of picky eating and lead to malnutrition. Be careful to prevent hypervitaminosis (especially vitamin A or D) or calcium deficiency.
The frequency of stool is related to the type of food: for example, when feeding meat and rice, the amount and frequency of stool will be less; when feeding more starchy food, the frequency and amount will be higher. Pay attention to the color, smell and presence of worms in the puppy's stool. Normal stool is strip-shaped, moderately soft and hard, and usually slightly yellow. But it is also affected by food. For example, if you eat a lot of meat or feed some liver, your feces will usually turn black.
The frequency of urination also changes with the age of the dog. For 1-month-old dogs, it’s about once every 2 hours, and for 2-month-old dogs, it’s about 5 to 6 times a day. Urine that is light yellow and clear and transparent is healthy. The first time you urinate in the morning, the color will be slightly darker. However, if you find that the urine color remains darker, you should suspect whether you are sick, and it is best to go to the animal hospital for examination. It is best to go to the animal hospital for a physical examination every month, with stool and urine tests, and intestinal parasites removed if necessary.
