Full Question:
Hello my name is Barb. You seem to be an expert at raising puppies. I have a very weak bulldog puppy. She is 8 days old I am tube feeding her every 3 hours. I was wondering can I feed her every 2 hours and if so do I split the formula dosage. She weighs 12oz and I am feeding her 11cc. She was feeding on the mother and then she just stopped sucking after 5 days. She is hardly moving at all. I hope she does not die.Thanks for your help,
Barb
Ed's Answer:
Barb,
The probably reason there your puppy has a problem is because commercial formula is total crap – I mean and bad as bad can be.
The solution is not to feed the puppy more garbage but rather feed it good homemade formula – use the formula on my bottle-feeding web page.
So the answer to your question is an absolute NO. You should use a gram scale and start a weight chart - weigh the dog twice a day and then feed it the way its explained in the article.
Good luck.
