What do you feed a 2 week old puppy?

You can give your orphans complete nutrition by buying a commercial puppy milk replacer (such as Esbilac), which can be purchased through your veterinarian or a pet supply store. Commercial milk replacers have feeding directions on the label and should be given at the puppy's body temperature (about 100 degrees).

How long can a 2 week old puppy go without eating?

Besides the long-term risks of puppies not eating as they should, there are some immediate risks to take into account when your puppy refuses to eat. Puppies, unlike older dogs, don't have fat reserves. Therefore, they can't go longer than 12 hours without food.

When can puppies go all night without eating?

Between four and seven weeks, your puppy can go without eating for every five to six hours. They can manage to go without food a couple of hours beyond five hours but once again, this is not advisable. If your older puppy of six weeks old goes up to eight hours without eating, they'll survive.
