How to bottle feed a puppy



Sorry about that, my camera kept falling and i ran out of memory to continue. Basically i use a good brand baby bottle like Tommee Tippee, i warm the goat milk, i feed the runts first. I use my right hand to hold their face with the bottle also. I keep it held up. I hold the puppy under its chest with my left hand supporrting their feet and keeping them from squirming around in my left hand. Dont cover their nose and dont squeeze with your right hand too much or they cant breathe. When you hear their chest sound bubbly and raspy that means they are drinking too fast and swallowing too much air. I using sit the puppies back legs on the floor under a towel because they pee and they need the support or they will be trying to climb all over you if you try feeding them in your lap. Also its easier feeding them close to your chest have their backs lean your chest for support. Also make sure your puppy is actually getting milk. Their tongue has to be under the nipple. Some puppies start sucking and lock their lips when the nipple is under their tongue. You will have to burp the puppy after you feed them the milk gets in their lungs from drinking too much and too fast. Just use three or two fingers to lightly pat their sides and back. Rubbing their back may even help. Note that Not all puppies will burp. But it’s a good idea to try. Take breaks between will help them, feed 1oz then come back to that puppy and feed them another 1oz. 2oz all at once may too much.
