What to do if the female dog has no milk for the puppies

1. Start with the female dog:
There are many reasons for insufficient milk supply in female dogs. It may be hereditary, or it may be caused by insufficient nutrition during lactation. Here are some ways to encourage your bitch to produce milk:
1: Chicken soup, pig trotters and peanut (or soybean) soup, lamb rib soup and crucian carp soup can all release milk. Lecithin granules IN and papaya powder can also release milk.
2: In addition, you can buy a kind of traditional Chinese medicine called Tongcao. Put about 10 of them at a time and cook them with pig trotters or crucian carp. The effect is very good. The effect of Niubi Tongcao soup is even better. However, you should not eat too much pig's trotters, chicken and lamb chops, as they are relatively greasy, so you should mainly drink soup. Moreover, you should not drink too much soup, otherwise the milk contains too much fat, which will also affect the puppy's digestive system. During the period when the female dog is breastfeeding, the dog cannot eat pig liver, as pig liver has the function of collecting milk.
2. Start with puppies:
When the bitch’s milk is insufficient but lactation is unsuccessful, we can adopt artificial feeding methods. There are many such methods: If the puppies are still young and cannot eat, you can get some goat milk or something. You can also buy infant milk powder.
If you are in a rural area and have dairy goats or lactating ewes, you can push the goat down to let it replace milk. If the puppies are able to eat, they can be fed calcium milk biscuits, puppy dog food, etc.
3. Skim milk (or milk powder):
It must be skimmed. The lactose and other ingredients in milk can irritate the gastrointestinal tract of dogs, not to mention newborn puppies, so be sure to buy skimmed milk or skimmed milk powder. But whether it’s dog milk powder or skimmed milk, it’s important to let the puppies take turns eating breast milk!
