RECIPE 1

• 1 x 8 oz. carton of vanilla yoghurt

• 1 x can of evaporated milk (not low fat)

• 6 oz boiled cooled water

• 2 x egg yolks (someone once told me to add a tablespoon of mayonnaise)

• This keeps well in the refrigerator and the pups thrive on it. Put a drop of Pet Nutri Drops in before the feeding or on their tongues before the feeding.

• From the Walkowitcz-Wilcox book Successful Dog Breeding and Canine Midwifery.

RECIPE 2

• 10 oz. evaporated milk (whole fat or part skim -- do not use all skim) or goat's milk

• 3 oz. sterilized water (baby water or boiled water) -- delete if using goat's milk

• 1 egg yolk (raw)

• 2T regular mayonnaise (optional)

• 1 cup whole fat yoghurt (whole fat or part skim -- avoid all skim)

• Place all ingredients in a blender and mix (or use a wire whisk) till well blended. Use all formula within 7 days.

• Warm formula to puppy body temperature before feeding (dogs are 101 degrees). Always discard formula leftover at a feeding. This formula is thick and so is best administered by stomach tube. If using a bottle, you may need to enlarge the hole slightly. It provides 11 calories per cc.

RECIPE 3

• 1 cup Carnation Evaporated Milk

• 1 cup boiled, cooled water

• 1 raw egg yolk

• 2 tablespoons Natural Yoghurt

• 1 teaspoon honey

RECIPE 4

• 1 cup milk Goat's milk or evaporated milk

• 1 teaspoon salad oil

• 1 drop baby vitamins

• 2 egg yolks.

RECIPE 5

• 1 cup of canned Condensed milk or Evaporated milk

• 4 oz plain, full-fat yoghurt

• 1 egg yolk

• 1 tsp of baby vitamins

• 1 envelope of Knox unflavoured gelatine in addition to other ingredients will help keep stools solid.

RECIPE 6

• 13 oz. Can of evaporated milk

• Equal amount of water

• 4 oz. of plain yoghurt

• 4 egg yolks

• 1 tablespoon of liquid vitamins.

• The water element is very important in any formula. The newborn puppy has a tremendous need for water, since he himself is almost 85% water.

RECIPE 7

• 50/50 Evaporated Milk and WARM (pre-boiled) water

• 1 beaten egg yoke

• 1 Teaspoon of Sandoz Calcium

• 1 Teaspoon of Glucose Powder

• 3 drops of Pentavite Vitamin Drops

• Strain with a tea strainer.

RECIPE 8

• This is used as a supplement if you have to hand-raise, given to the bitch during whelping process, used to wean puppies. It is suppose to be as close to bitch milk as possible and produce superior puppies.

MIX IN BLENDER:

• 1 Tablespoon Honey

• 1 Tablespoon Whipping Cream

• 2 Egg Yolks

• 1 Can PET (brand) Evaporated Milk

DISSOLVE ON STOVE:

• 2 Packages Knox (brand) unflavoured gelatin

• 1 Can water

• Combine all above together. Add one more can of water. Blend well. Refrigerate. The stuff turns to a "pudding" state, but melts when warmed.

RECIPE 9

• 1 tin of Carnation Evaporated Milk

• Equal amount of water

• 1 whole egg

• 1 heaped teaspoon of honey

• Mix all together and strain, then heat in microwave to desired temperature.

EMERGENCY PUPPY MILK REPLACER

• 1 cup whole milk (cow or goat)

• 1 pinch table grade salt

• 3 egg yolks - no whites

• 1 tablespoon corn oil

• 1/4 teaspoon liquid vitamins

• Blend and serve at 95° - 100° or skin temperature

WEAK PUPPY BOOSTER

• This formula is meant to be used on newborns who are chilled, weak or otherwise compromised. This formula should be administered every 1-2 hours (or more often) by stomach tube and the puppy should be warmed slowly. Once the puppy begins to maintain a normal body temperature, regular feeding can resume. NEVER FEED A CHILLED PUPPY MILK REPLACER.

• 8oz. lactated ringers solution or sterilized water

• 1 tablespoon white Karo syrup or white sugar (do not use honey)

OR

• Substitute plain, unflavored Pedialyte

• Mix ingredients and warm to body temperature. Preferred administration is stomach tube (to ensure correct dosage). Feed 1/2 cc per 2 oz. of body weight once per hour. If puppy is very weak, you may half the dosage and feed twice as often. This formula should be followed up with milk replacer as soon as the puppy is maintaining normal body temperature. This formula should not be fed exclusively for more than 8 hours.

TEMPORARY MILK SUBSTITUTE

When the entire litter is deprived of the mother's milk, if the mother dies or her milk does not come in (agalactia), is not sufficient (hypogalactia) or is toxic (mastitis), use of a milk substitute adapted for dogs usually ensures the survival of the puppies, although there may be a slight slowdown (less than ten percent) in growth compared to the average of the breed, which is often regained later by spontaneous consumption of a weaning formula.

On their own, puppies will nurse more than twenty times per day. It would be difficult for the owner to keep up with such a feeding schedule! A schedule of feeding once every three hours for the first week should be adequate, as long as the feedings are regular and the sleep schedule is respected (puppies sleep more than ninety percent of the time during the first week) so the puppies get the rest so essential to bonding and imprinting.

While it is possible to adapt cow's milk for puppies, powdered puppy formulas are much better, especially since their lactose content is limited.

In addition to saving time and money, powdered puppy formulas are packaged dry. This limits the risk of diarrhea in the puppies, whose stomach acid is not yet strong enough to completely sterilize the digesting food.

After adding water and heating the formula to 37°C, the owner can feed the puppy either by means of a bottle, or by gavage, using a probe (urinary probe), if the puppy refuses to nurse. If the milk is given by mouth using a syringe, it should have the consistency of rather thick baby cereal to trigger the swallowing reflex and limit the risk of food "going down the wrong way." If food enters the respiratory tract, bronchial pneumonia may result.

The following are a few points that will help decide how much milk to feed the puppies:

• One kilogram of bitch milk contains about 1350 kilocalories.

• A puppy needs three to four millilitres of milk per gram of weight gain.

• The caloric requirements of nursing puppies are more than two-and-a-half times greater than the maintenance requirements of an adult dog of the same weight.

For example, if a one-month-old puppy weighs three kilograms (adult weight twenty-two kilograms), its daily average weight gain is about six grams per kilogram of estimated adult weight, or 130 grams per day.

To gain this much weight, the puppy must eat 4 x 130 = 520 grams of milk per day, which is equal to 0.52 x 1350 = 600 kilocalories.

A household recipe that can be used temporarily as a substitute for bitch milk.

• 270g Unsweetened Evaporated Milk

• 70g Fresh Cream

• 450g Nine eggs without shell

• 56g One egg with shell

• 154g Mineral Water

TOTAL 1000g
