I need help because I'm not sure what I should do with them. Should I bottle feed them?
Answers:
I'm so sorry! How awful!
Yeah, you gotta start them on a bottle pretty soon or take them to a shelter or vet. Don't just drop them off, see if they are going to take care of them or just euthanize them. Unless you aren't conserned with that, it is entirely up to you if you want to try to save the babies or let nature take it's course. Don't let the idiots on this site make you feel guilty, sometimes things happen and we can't do anything about it.
Get puppy replacement milk and look for one with colostrum. Colostrum has chemicals and stuff puppies need to be healthy. There are also ones with beneficial bacteria, consider getting one of those as well.
You are gonna need a few bottles. Then, I recomend you go to a vet or shelter to get puppy feeding lessons. It's not as easy or straightforward as it might seem.
Remember you gotta rub their tummies and exits to make them go poop and pee. Like their mama would have. They will die if you don't.
Good Luck
yes thats the best thing i can think of. you better call your vet
Of course aww im so sorry.Keep them in a blanket warm and yes bottle feed them go to your local vet and get answers.
call ur vet.
im so sorry about ur dog.
the puppies probably need a special formula that ur vet can help u find.
r u lactating?
can contact your local vet or animal shelter and they can offer your helps
you can try using bottle feedings with the over the counter milk but referring to the vet first will help with the immediate care they may need
am sorry to hear of your loss
bottle feed them(you can buy a bottle out of a pet store) and place a stuffed animal in with them they will think it is their mother and it will help keep them warm. Don't forget after feeding they will use the bathroom so have a tissue handy.
keep at least 1 puppie so u wont have to buy another one, and sell the rest.
Break out the bottels and feed them with dog milk. You can't give the pups regular milk, it makes them sick. Get somewhat like a dog formula if you can. The first day I found my abandoned cat who turned agressive he had to be bottle fed with a bottle.
Get them to a vet 1st off to make sure they are ok. Your vet should be able to tell you your next course of action. If you decide to hand rear them, be prepared. You wil be feeding every couple hours for a long time. You might be lucky if your vet or friends and family might know a mom that could surrogate. In an instance where mom has lost her own pups, she might still be produing milk and accept the pups as her own.
Sorry to hear mom passed away. Good luck!
I know this sounds gross but you can check with your vet, After you feed them you have to wipe their little butts with a wet rag to make them peepee because the mom uses her tongue to do that.
Oh My goodness!
you must be very upset about losing your dog!
awwww.
well at least you have new little ones!
Yes you should bottle feed them
you should keep one and give the rest to the local spca. i will pray for your dog so she will go to doggies heaven
You should be feeding them every couple hours with a bottle (or better, tube feeding, but you would need to be shown how to do this without hurting them) and puppy formula.
You will also need to be stimulating them so they will potty.
I am sure there must be some good websites about raising orphaned pups, do a search.
OMG. I'm so very sorry. Yes,you are going to have to do a lot for the pups such as bottle feeding and helping hm eliminate. There's too much to mention, so I'll give you a web site to check.
Good luck, and I'm so very sorry.
My sincere condolences and god luck with the pups.
Aww, that's the most saddest thing. When a mother dies and the babies have no mom. First thing:
1) CALL THE VET! Because, now the babies cannot get milk and they won't have anyone to go to.
2) Ask people you know with pets. It's always better to hear a friend telling you what to do if they went through something like it.
3) Treat the babies like your their mom. They don't want to feel left out so feed them, teach them, and care for them.
4) Pray to God .
.I'm so sorry about the mother :(.
call ur vet and they will tell u how to get them to the vets saftly and then they will show u how to bottle feed. im sorry about ur dog. * luck!
I am so very sorry about your loss. Do you know what your dog died of? (Calcium deficiency is a biggy with a dog feeding a large litter, especially a small dog.) If your dog was sick or poisoned, the pups may be in danger. My advise is to get them to a vet or an animal shelter. Bottle feeding six newborn pups is a full time task. It would be extremely difficult for one person to accomplish. You should get them checked out and get some help. If the puppies live and turn out healthy, perhaps you could keep one to replace the one you lost. However, I would suggest neutering your pet as soon as possible. I will be praying for you. My greyhound died of brain cancer on July 5th of this year. I know it is hard to lose a pet. May God bless you. I will be praying for you.
well you can keep about two or three puppies and give the rest away. And I'm sorry about your loss of your dog.鈾モ櫏鈾モ櫏鈾?
Hello damn,Sorry to hear about your loss,its very heart breaking but concentrate on your babies now.
So try to bottle feed them but if they are to small then RUSH to the VET (A.S.A.P.)because they dehydrate very fast and will die,
So have the vet if necessary fit a stomach Tube and feed them that way.
If they do take the bottle then there is puppy milk,Pet stores have quality puppy milk or ask your vet.And you will have to feed them every 2-3 hours for the next few days.I hope i helped
You are going to have to bottle feed them so go to the pet store and buy a couple of the small baby bottles.. like for dolls and warm milk and or get a formula for them and feed them that way..
They should take a bottle every 2 hours to start..
keep them very warm.. put a heating pad under there blanket on warm. so that they don't get chilled.. it is going to be alot of work for a couple of weeks but you can do it..
The warmth and plenty of milk when needed at first will be the main thing. and remember they don't know how to potty on there own yet so you will have to get a bowl of nice warm water and with a soft rag or cotton ball rub it on there little bottom and make them potty should also do this about every feeding or after feeding..The warmth of the water will make them pee and poo. Keep them clean and well fed and warm and you should have a bunch of really happy pups there.
when they open there eyes and start to wander around start giving them some soft canned food. will make it easier for you if you can get them to eat on there own. keep the milk going for up to 8 weeks and they will be happy.. also start giving them some crunchy food soaked in milk or water to get them started on regular food in about 4 to 5 weeks.
They will grow fast once you have them eatting on there own..
They do sleep alot also so just take care of them when awake..
they need plenty of sleep to grow..
good luck with your babys
know any good asian restaurants?
Talk to your vet. Definetly bottle feed them. Call a humane society and see if they will take how ever may of the puppies you are willing to give away or sell. Don't just dump them though. That's cruel.
Yes and make sure you keep them warm or they will die.This happened to my dog as a pup.So what I did was put him in a pet taxi and put a light about a foot a way from him to keep him warm.
GET TO THE VET NOW!
They can't survive more than a few hours.
Get a heating pad and put it under a towel in their box. Put the heating pad set on low under just half of their box area.
You may get by with bottle feeding them - every hour for the frist week or so. You need Puppy-Lac - a milk replacement formula. You also need very tiny, tiny bottles and nipples.
You have to clean their and rub their rear ends to encourage defecation.
If they won't take the bottle, you have to intubate them and feed them through the tub. SEE THE VET
I'm sorry you lost your dog but if you don't know what to do with orphaned puppies, you are not an experienced or prepared breeder. I'm guessing that you didn't spay your female and either she got knocked up because she got loose or you frivilously decided to breed a litter just to do it. That's what happens when you don't spay or have your dog get preganant because it would be "fun" to have puppies.
yeah! I think you should bottle feed them with puppie formula.
