Which breeder departs a pup of 25 days from his mother?

I'd find a good quality canned food along with warm goats milk (unpasturized) or you could soften good quality kibble in hot water, add some goats milk.  He'll just be starting  solids at this age.

I've used goats milk to help raise so many little critters.  It is God's miracle food IMO.
You could also get formula from the vets.


I hope others will help (without jumping to conclusions until they know the details) you out here and actually answer the question, thus help this pup.

 Are you saying that the pup is only 25 days old? or do you mean you will be getting it in 25 days ?

If it is the former then the pup is far too young and I would bet a months wages you will have a dead pup very soon.

However,  if it is the latter I have found that  a good start in life is egg yolks ( not the white) and goats milk is excellent. Then its up to you ,if you buy branded food either wet or complete dried make sure it is puppy food not adult. The best though I think is flesh, green tripe, beef fat, bone and egg yolk. Supplemented with brown rice and brown bread

fadi,
you came to the right place my friend boiling over with experts.

Do you plan to feed raw meat, or kibble?

At this age you start the pup on a bit of food but it should still be nursing so you have a little more time to decide what you will be feeding.

Raw is raw, make sure the pieces are small enough and very small amounts at first, never make drastic sudden changes.

If it's to be kibble wet it half and half at first and mash it up, over time use less water, again gradually.

If you provide more detail you get better answers.

Moons.

How much do you make a month rodger?   It is certainly not impossible to raise a pup that has had its mothers milk for 25 days.

Fadicool,

You will need to make formula for your puppy.

Goat's milk, as mentioned above, is best, egg yolks only (no whites)
mix with oil (salmon, safflower, or canola)
You also need to add vitamin A and B-complex (for infants)

Make only what you will use in 2 days.

Canned evaporated goat's milk mixed with fresh works well.

You may need to use asmall infant bottle to feed this puppy.. see if it will lap from a saucer.

Start adding human baby rice cereal to the mix (pablum), and add a bit of human baby food chicken.
Gradually add more meat/rice cereal, less milk, and start adding a quality mashed up puppy kibble, if you are going to use kibbles.

Watch this puppy for signs of dehydration.. you may have to dilute the mix with pedialyte or water if it's weak or dehydrated.

As others have said, it is best to keep a pup with its mother/littermates... but I have no idea how you came to be in your situation with a singleton puppy.

Good luck!
