Bottle Feeding Orphan Puppies

Nursing bottles for orphaned puppies can be obtained through the veterinarian, pet supplier, wholesale catalogs or the internet. You should purchase several nipple styles to see which works best for you and your puppies.

Puppies can become colicky just like human newborn babies. Be careful about allowing a  puppy to ingest air when either tube or bottle feeding. Always turn the bottle and nipple end down, before offering it to the puppy. All the air in the bottle will rise to the solid end. When the  puppy is nursing freely bubbles rise in the bottle. The bubble flow should be fairly rapid, small and uniform in size, rising in even response to the  puppy’s nursing. If the bubbles are large the  puppy may also be ingesting air. Check the nipple cap.

Occasionally remove the bottle from the  puppy’s mouth to allow a return passage of air back into the bottle. A return passage of air occurs either through turning the bottle upright or by momentarily loosening the cap. Do not abruptly pull the bottle from the  puppy’s mouth. Place a finger in the corner of the puppy’s lip to break the nursing hold.

Some puppies may instinctively resist the unnatural feel of a manufactured nipple.

1. If the dam is available, rub the bottle and nipple and a towel over her mammary glands.

2. Drape this towel across your stomach and lap.

3. Hold the puppy on your lap against your abdomen.

4. Express a small amount of formula from the bottle and wipe it over the nipple.

5. As you introduce the bottle’s nipple to the  puppy’s mouth, move your legs slightly, jiggling your lap.

6. Also jiggle the bottle up and down in the puppy’s mouth using tiny motions. The movements re-create the dam’s breathing and  puppy’s nursing position on the dam that should cause the  puppy to instinctively and reflexively latch onto the nipple.

7. Have lots of patience.

You will need to burp the bottle fed puppy after each feeding. Do not allow the puppy to nurse the bottle dry to avoid a colicky baby. You can burp your puppy the same as you would a newborn human baby on your shoulder with gentle pats and rubs between the shoulder blades.

When you have weaned your orphan puppies put them on a high quality puppy dry food such as Life's Abundance Puppy Food according to what size your puppies will be full grown.

Life's Abundance also make a wonderful Wellness Food Supplement that enhances the dry formula you feed your dogs.

Supplementing your dog’s diet can play a crucial role in maintaining overall health. We know that some dogs require additional nutritional intake to help them maintain a healthy body, due to age, breed, environment and other factors. Based on this premise, our holistic veterinarian has formulated the perfect complement to your dog’s daily diet. Life’s Abundance Wellness Food Supplement for Dogs is formulated with a broad array of naturally nutritious ingredients from real food to help maintain overall health. The nutrients contained in this superior supplement are sourced from foods, chicken liver, cranberries, carrots, eggs, pineapples and many others.

“The more we learn about the way bodies function, the more amazing they seem to us. There is a growing amount of anecdotal evidence that suggests a mammal’s body has a highly complex, natural intelligence. As a holistic veterinarian, I review such evidence, interpreting it within the context of established scientific knowledge. Based upon these observations, it seems that a dog’s body “prefers” nutrients as they exist in real foods, in their more natural state. On a cellular level, their bodies are familiar with the nutrient components and therefore the body knows to absorb and assimilate exactly what it needs. That is why I believe that small amounts of nutrients in real foods can have a profound affect on a dog’s body. In light of this information, I formulated a new approach to add to the overall nutrient intake, creating Life’s Abundance Wellness Food Supplement for Dogs.”
