what to feed a 4 and a half baby chihuahua

I need to know what to feed my puppies because the mother will not let them drink milk often and one is really skinny, what should I do?

Answer #1

How old is your puppies? if you are serious about wanting info. Just funmail me or go to, groups and check out for the love of dogs. most of us are dealing with liters and this problem, great advice in that group.

Answer #2

im not sure. I knew this person who had kittens and the mom wouldnt feed them so she was feeding the kittens baby formula through a baby bottle. you should call the vet though.

Answer #3

How old are your baby chihuahuas? From 3-5 weeks old , we feed ours dry Bil-Jac puppy food, because it’s very easy to eat, and has good sugar for rapid growth and keeping sugar levels up. Then we switch to “Life’s Abundance” super food. Tiny dogs have the most problems digesting, and can’t be fed junk food. Too fragile. Feed them the best. If your puppy is skinny, it might have worms or coccedia, rush to the vet for stool tests and medications…either can be fatal. Be sure to use 1/2 dose vaccines, Neopar at 6 and 8 weeks, 10 and 13 and 16 and 19 weeks Galaxy DA2PP 5*. from 13 weeks on , if they’re big chihuahuas they can have full vaccine, after 16 weeks if they’re teacups.

Answer #4

First make sure they’re not sick, then take some milk and a raw egg, and heat them in the microwave for about 25-or35 seconds then set it infront of the puppies and if they don’t eat it try squished up wet dog food, but make sure it’s not hard or they’ll get choked, I know it sounds discusting but it’ll help until they get older.
