I have been using your formula recipe, but the pups are barely drinking now. Am I doing something wrong or will they eat when they are hungry?
Full Question:
Hi,I have been raising french bulldog puppies from birth. They were born a week early and mom rejected them. Anyway, I started using the esbilac but they were constipated and not gaining much, I found your recipe on formula and I am currently using it. The little guys loved and were drinking about 2 oz at a feeding. They now are barely taking an oz. Am I doing something wrong or will they eat when they are hungry? This is only day 2 with your formula. They weigh 1lb 12oz. Any suggestions would greatly appreciated.

Cindy's Answer:
As long as they continue to gain weight then I would not be too concerned. Our formula is much richer than Esbilac. You need a scale that is capable of weighing in grams to make sure you get sufficient weight gain.
According to our chart your pups should be eating about 1.5 ozs of formula 6 times per day at their current weight.
