What should I feed a 4 week old German Shepherd puppy?
I have a 4 weeks old German Shepherd puppy and need to know what feeding. Reply needed immediately!
Sometimes puppies of this age are taken to the shelter without their mother. You can usually find a nursing guard dog to accept the puppy as his. Could you possibly contact a local shelter or rescue to see if they have dogs when nursing? If not, consult your veterinarian immediately. This puppy should be under veterinary care. The puppies are not to be away from his mother and littermates until at least 8 weeks old. Your puppy is at risk right now and can not feed anything. The office sells veterinary formula that is so close to the nutrients in the milk of mothers as possible. It's not a cheap substitute sold in pet stores, but not as good. The puppy should be fed every few hours and may also need a massage to urinate (pee and poo) and the mother usually licks the puppies "private areas" in order to get to go before learning to go it alone. Please consult a professional. You will get good advice here, but nobody here is a vet, even if they were, it would be unethical to give advice online without seeing the puppy in person to diagnose and treat.
