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 dog.
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 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 mammaries.
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 wean your puppy start them out on softened Life's Abundance dog food for puppies (the appropriate size formula of either small/medium or large breed).
Also, once your puppies turn 12 weeks old, start cleaning their ears with Life's Abundance Ear cleaner to help keep down ear infections that can be costly to treat at your vet's office.
