How to Bottle Feed a puppy

First you need a bottle, for large breed dogs you can buy a premature baby nursing bottle. Buy both a fast flow and a slow flow nipple and try them both to see how well the puppy nurses with it. You do not want the puppy to drink to fast or it could get fluid in the lungs and you do not want it so slow that the puppy gets tired trying to get the milk out. A weaker puppy will need faster nipple a puppy with a strong suck action will need a slower nipple. If your puppy is rattly sounding after it drinks that means the flow of milk is to fast.
For small breeds, a puppy nursing bottle would be best, or a syringe can be used in a pinch until you get a bottle.
There are commercial brands of puppy formula. They are very expensive and if I use them I still add a tablespoon of yogurt to the can of formula. I personally find the pups do much better on the home make formula because the eggs are raw and fresh and the yogurt have good live cultures in it.

Here are a few formulas. . Always mix small amounts and keep the unused portion in the fridge.
1 cup milk Goat's milk
1 egg yoke, no whites
2 table spoons of plain yogurt,, do not use the low fat yogurt , puppies need the full fat
1 drop baby vitamins
1 teaspoon corn syrup

If in a bind and you can not find goats milk and must use cows milk try this formula
1 regular size can of Evaporated Milk
1 equal size can of Water
1/3 cup Plain Yogurt, do not use the low fat yogurt , puppies need the full fat
1 egg yoke,, do not use the egg white
1 drop baby vitamins
\

10 oz can of evaporated milk
1 raw egg yoke,, do not add the whites
1 cup of whole yogurt. Not the reduced fat kind
1/3 cup of boiled and cooled water .. let the water cool before adding it to formula
1/2 Tsp Karo Syrup or Corn Syrup

This picture shows how to put your finger into the side of the mouth so you can insert the bottle tip in puppies mouth

The first few feedings you may have to force the puppy to except the bottle. Many puppies fight the bottle for the first time. Once the puppy knows that the bottle is where food comes from they get easier to feed.
First of all NEVER lay a puppy on its back to feed it the bottle. The puppy must always be in an upright position. Puppies can easily aspirate milk into their lungs if fed on their back.
You may have to put your finger into the side of the puppies' mouth to open the puppies' mouth, and then inset the bottle in the puppy's mouth.
Look at the pictures to see how the bottle is held, If you hold the bottle in this manor it is easier to keep the puppies head stable and cradled in the palm of your hand.
