So you have your puppy milk formula that you can buy at a pet shop or a vet but we were out in the country and not near a pet shop or vet so I called some breeders in Washington and they told me what to do.

First I went out and bought 5 preemie baby bottles with number 1 nipple.

I bought a case of goats milk or you can use evaporated milk (not condensed).

I warmed up the milk until I could barely feel it on the inside of my wrist and poured the milk into 5 clean, dry sterilized bottles.

I put the puppies in a safe area where they couldn’t wander off and get stuck somewhere and put towels on the floor.

Then I looked for the smallest of the puppies and started feeding.  I let them drink enough until they stopped on their own accord or just fell asleep in my arms.

I then noted which puppy got fed and how much he drank and put him on a towel in a fenced off area where he could sleep.  Sometimes a puppy will stop feeding but will not go to sleep.  This is your cue that the puppy has to pee so take him somewhere with newspapers or old towels and let him relieve himself.  Make sure he is clean and dry and then put him down to sleep.

OK that was one puppy.  Get the next smallest puppy and feed him the same way.  By now all the puppies are awake and crying to get fed.  Keep your cool and then call up a friend to help you out because it’s a lot of work.

Let the mother dog see what you are doing so she will calm down.  After a while she may settle down and want to get away for a little time to herself.  Now is a good time to let her out into the back yard so that she can relieve herself and stretch her legs.

Do this with all the puppies until everyone is asleep and no ones crying for more food.
