You can buy powdered puppy milk but an old recipe used by many breeders today who think better than any commercial powder which can cause constipation.

• 10 oz. of canned evaporated milk OR whole goat's milk (DO NOT USE COWS, SKIMMED OR WHOLE MILK) Whole goat's milk is by far the best to use and can be bought from Morrisons, Tesco and Asda and other large supermarket chains. Make sure you are using EITHER evaporated milk OR whole goat's milk not both, and do not use sweetened condensed milk.
• If using evaporated milk add 3 oz of cooled boiled water
• 1 raw egg yolk.
• 1 cup of plain yogurt (high fat content - avoid skimmed or fat free).
• 1/2 tsp Karo (available on Amazon) or Corn Syrup (not honey)

Place ingredients in a blender or hand whisk and blend. Be careful to not over blend and create a milk shake full of bubbles as the bubbles will then go into the puppy. Keep cool and discard leftovers after 7 days.Warm formula to body temperature (dogs are around 101 degrees).

or

• 1pt goats milk
• 10-20ml evaporated milk
• 5ml sugar syrup
• 1 egg yolk
• 50ml full fat goats yoghurt

This receipe is very easily digested and contains everything a puppy needs, you can also supplement with miracle drops

Myra Savant Harris formula

This formula is safe for any age from the tiniest premature puppy to the most elderly dog, it can remain in the freezer for up to six months and have never met a dog who does not love it, or a puppy who didn't gain weight quickly while eating it. Because so many breeders have reported that the administration of 'liver water' appears to strengthen fading puppies, it is now included in the recipe.

The recipe

1/3 cup of strong homemade beef broth (best made with liver)
1 can evaporated goat's milk (can substitiute evaporated cow's milk - ie: Carnation), but DO NOT DILUTE
1 cup of whole fat live culture yoghurt - the higher the fat content the better
2 raw egg yolks
1 tablespoon of mayonnaise or canola oil
1 teaspoon of Karo syrup or corn syrup
1 teaspoon of baby vitamins

Place all the ingredients into a blender and blend until completely mixed. Place formula into ice cup trays and freeze. When the cubes are forzen take them out of the ice cube tray and place into a heavy weight plastic bag. At each feeding, take enough cubes to make a feeding, and warm to the temperature of 95/96 degrees, luke warm.

Liver water is a good alternative to puppy stim

This is an old remedy, but seems to work wonders. Take a large piece of ox/beef liver, add a little bit of water, and boil slowly, about 5 minutes, until the blood comes out. Let cool, drain the liquid and put just 4 drops (no matter the breed) into a dropper and give to puppy.

At first you give it every 2 hours for 12 hours, then every 4 hours. Continue until you feel the puppy is thriving. Don't use any of the liver itself, it's way too rich, just the liquid.

Note it must be BEEF/OX LIVER, not lambs or pigs liver
