Instructions

    • 1

      Put all the items listed above into a blender.
      You may replace the evaporated milk with goat's milk if you choose. DO NOT use regular milk, evaporated milk or goat's milk only! You can purchase a gallon of nursery water.

      Turn the blender on. Do not over mix. You will see bubbles at the top, you can scoop the very top layer off and discard.

      Pour into nursery bottles and feed the puppies.
      Playtex makes the bottles with disposable liners. These come in handy. The whole in the nipple, should be plenty big. You want the formula to come out, but not too fast, so making the whole bigger is not a good idea. If the puppies drink too fast and inhale the bottle, it will get into their lungs and they will die of pneumonia. Please consult your vet, and be very careful.

      Newborns you can feed every 3 hours.
