Nurse and artificial nutrition

Nurse and artificial nutrition
Sometimes it happens that a mother can not feed the puppies. This situation can occur for many reasons: the bitch should be treated for sepsis, it has been difficult delivery or Caesarean section, there are diseases of the genital organs, under the influence of pain or other factors, impaired lactation, etc. In this case, the puppies can put a bitch-nurse.
Bitch-nurse should withdraw, and put the kids in her whelping box, so they soaked familiar smell. After a while her lead and quickly enclose all of the puppies: and her own, and brought. If the bitch nasty character, it must be muzzled, which must be removed once the kids start to suck. First, hold the collar a nurse if she lick all the puppies, all right, and the collar can be removed.
If this method fails, the bitch must again take 10-15 minutes and repeat podkladyvanie puppies. Usually all the same nurse takes other people's kids, though sometimes makes 2-3 reps.
But occasionally it happens that the nurse does not want to put up with the new puppy in his litter, and does not accept them. Then you can bring up kids with a mixture of artificial food.
The recipe for artificial milk feeding puppies:
● 800 ml of cow's milk;
● 200 ml of cream;
● 1 egg;
● 20 ml 40% glucose solution;
● 3 ml of 5% solution of ascorbic acid;
● 2 drops of oil solution of vitamin A;
● 2 drops of oil solution of vitamin D3.
Cream should be mixed thoroughly with the egg and, stirring constantly, to combine with milk. Add vitamins and pour a thin stream of glucose and ascorbic acid, gradually stirring.
Experts advise to feed the puppies Caucasian Shepherd from 6 to 3 times per day (depending on the age of the animal), gradually moving on two meals a day feeding.
Prepared milk can be refrigerated for 1 day, warming up before feeding the required amount to body temperature.
Daily amount of formula for a pet depends on its age and is calculated as a percentage of body weight your puppy:
● 3-6 days - 15-20%;
● 7-13 days - 22-25%;
● 14-20 days - 30-32%;
● 21 days or older - 35-40%.
The first 5-6 days, kids need to be fed every 2 h. From the 2nd week of feedings gradually decreased. If she is nursing the puppies a few days and then for some reason has ceased to do so, problems can arise. During the first days of artificial feeding kids do not want to take a pacifier, because it does not smell nipple of the mother. Smelling a puppy develops in the neonatal period, so they will continue to look for mother by smell. Kids do not distinguish the taste, so this difficulty does not arise.
