British Bulldog

< p> Nowadays, many owners like to leave their dogs with puppies, thinking that this is the continuation of life. However, some dogs are not gifted and good mothers, and they are likely to stop breastfeeding after giving birth to puppies. How should the owner feed the puppies milk at this time?
Dogs are carnivores. Dog breast milk has the characteristics of high protein, high fat, and low lactose, while cow's milk or human milk powder is a vegetarian type that is low in protein, low fat, and high lactose. If you use milk Or feeding puppies with human milk powder will cause diarrhea because it is not suitable for the metabolic absorption characteristics of the puppy's body. The puppy's physical condition will gradually weaken until it dies. Even if it survives, it may suffer from metabolic cataracts and other diseases. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to buy dog ​​milk powder in professional stores to feed puppies. When you can't buy dog ​​milk powder, you might consider adding more egg yolks to the milk instead.
When dispensing, dissolve the dog milk powder with 3 times the amount of warm water and shake it well. The temperature should be around 39°C, which is most suitable for feeding dogs. Puppies are not suitable for lying on their backs to nurse. Improper posture will cause vomiting and choking, so it is best to let them lie down and nurse with their heads raised. There are special feeding bottles for dogs overseas. If we cannot buy such special feeding bottles, we can use ordinary feeding bottles instead. We just need to cut the mouth of the pacifier larger. There is no way to feed puppies with cold milk. The frequency of feeding decreases as the puppy grows, feeding every 3 hours in the first week.
