What can my week old puppy, without mother, eat?

[Wondergirl]

Eat? Nothing. The puppy needs puppy milk (NOT cow's milk).

Where's his mom?

[scooterpaws360]

We cannot find her. She's been gone since this afternoon.

You will need to go to your vet and purchase puppy formula and a bottle.

Ask your vet for advice on how much to feed for the puppies size. The amount will be small but feeding will need to occur every 2 hours, day and night.

You will need to manually stimulate the puppy to urinate and defecate as well. Mum usually does this by licking the puppy with her tongue. A suitable alternative is just a soft cloth dipped in luke warm water and rubbed over the puppies genitals.

The puppy will need to be kept in a warm room. Blankets don't do much as puppies under 2 weeks of age cannot regulate their own body temperature, the actual room needs to be kept warm.
