Manual Bottle Nursing

You also have to keep the puppies warm by placing hot bottles of water wrapped up in blankets where they are. Keep their anal and urinary zones clean; this you will do wave pieces of cotton soaked in hot water; wring them out and add a tiny drop of olive oil; you can also use talcum powder. At a very early age, puppies should have access to bowls of water. In the wild, they lick the dew off leaves and thus get water. Puppies brought up this way rarely suffer diarrhea, do not develop bloated wombs, and a very active and happy. One thing that can happen to a bottle fed puppy, whom you haven't been paying attention to, is that he eats too much that his stomach swells up; you have to immediately eliminate this excess of food. For that, you'll have to introduce a stem with leaves into the anus and softly press on the stomach with your hands; with this practice, you will make it easy for the puppy to evacuate and deflate his stomach. Skip his next meal so his stomach and rest.

Finally, it is very useful to place a classical tic-toc alarm clock, wrapped up in a warm cloth because it makes the puppies believe that their mother is with them, they and they gather around the clock.

When they are already one month old, if time allows it, their daily program will be: life in the outside during the day and confinement during the night. In order to protect them against the wind, you can put a wooden box outside. The body heat of the puppies &/or the sun will make the place warm. Puppies love to lie in the sun, but always make sure there is some shade said they can protect themselves from the sun when they desire. I hate the thought of raising puppies inside stuffy rooms.
