Do german shepard puppies drink baby formula?

Question

Well i am getting 5 german shepard puppies I want to treat it like a mother with milk from a bottle but i don't know if they drink baby formula. DO they if not what kind of milk?

Please no cursing or saying bad things i would like good answers.

If any german shepard experts or veterinarians or guessers I would like you to answer it.

Answer 1

um no!  How old r these pups and where is its mother?  You need to consult a vet

Answer 2

No baby formula is not designed for pups!  It can actually make them very sick with diarrhea. If the pups still need to be bottle fed then you will have to get puppy replacement milk or make your own puppy replacement formula for them.

How old are these pups!  That will help me in helping you know what is right to feed the pups!  I will be very happy to help you!

Answer 3

puppy formula from the pet store. You can get pre-mixed formula or dry.

Answer 4

At 5 weeks of age, they can eat "gruel" from a shallow dish. "Gruel" consist of puppy milk (you can buy this at any pet store) mixed with canned puppy food. You may have to coax them to eat from the dish a bit by wiping it in their mouths and showing them the food dish (by gently placing their snout in it). If they refuse to eat it, try just some puppy milk from a saucer. If that's a "no go", then you will have to feed them with a bottle (also available from the pet store) for another few days to a week and then try the saucer again. Always warm it up a bit (be sure it's not too hot). They will need to eat every 4-5 hours (more or less depending on the pups). They may also need to be stimulated to pee and p**p, you do this by wiping their bottoms with a warm, wet cloth after feeding. Be sure to also keep them in a warm place of the house.
