How do I feed my puppy formula? How many times a day?
Once every 2 to 3 hours until 15 days, once is a very small amount, just hit your mouth with a syringe, 7 or 8 minutes full. Never drink milk.
After 15 days, once every 4 hours is fine, when feeding, you need to take a quick soft cloth and wet it to wipe the poop area to help defecation.
Milk is best if you drink goat’s milk, and when you are almost a month old, you can wean your dog from milk, and feed your dog milk cake, with milk soaked softly or soaked softly in lukewarm water.
A 1-month-old dog can be fed multiple smaller meals 4-5 times a day, averaging about 3 times a day by 2 months of age.
Caveats:
Puppies should have a regular life. Feeding should be regular, quantitative and nutritionally balanced. Puppies should not be allowed to develop a bad habit of picking at their food which can lead to nutritional disorders. Care should be taken to prevent vitamin overload (especially vitamin A or D) or calcium deficiency.
The number of stools is related to the type of food: if you feed meat with rice, the amount and frequency of stools will be less; if you feed more starchy food, the frequency and amount will be more. Pay attention to the color, smell and the presence of worms in your puppy’s stool. Normal feces are streaky, moderately soft and hard, and usually slightly yellow. However, it is also affected by the food, such as when there is a lot of meat or when some liver is fed, the feces are usually dark.
The frequency of urination also varies with the age of the dog; for a 1-month-old dog, it is about once every 2 hours, and for a 2-month-old dog, it is about 5 to 6 times a day. Urine that is pale yellow and clear is healthy. The first time you pee in the morning, it is slightly darker, but if you find that the urine is always darker, you should suspect that you are sick, and it is best to go to an animal hospital for a checkup. It is best to go to the animal hospital once a month for a physical examination, laboratory tests of urine and stool, and if necessary, to expel intestinal parasites.
