Question

how much puppy chow mixed with milk replacement should I feed my 4 week old pups that is 2.5 lbs? The mom wont feed them. They are American Cocker Spaniels.

Answer 1

I would give your vet a call for proper instructions. Paws crossed all go es well. At 4 weeks they shouldn't need to be on milk for very long.

Answer 2

First you need to know they need to be fed 4 times a day and try to have mom nurse them in between even if you have to hold her down. Pups can't get their first vaccine until 6 weeks old but will loose their immunity quickly.

each pup should get about 1/8 cup of food at a time

They and mom should have been wormed at 2,4,6,8 and 10 Weeks or you should start now and as I said should get first vaccine at 6 weeks old.

Answer 3

1/4 cup is probably adequate - more if they eat that.  Puppies will eat until they're full.  You can't over feed them.
