Puppy Milk Substitute works Wonders

My family and I recently happened to have a very tragic situation on our hands. We have an older Brazilian Mastiff female who gave birth to a litter of 4 puppies. All seemed well until she stopped feeding them. Not being close to weaning age they started to suffer right from the get go.Sadly three of them perished however we have managed to save one by using a puppy formula that we found on the internet. Its about 11 calories per cc which is quite a bit. Now the little pup isn't out of the woods yet but she is slowly gaining weight and is doing much better. One thing we also decided to do was to add some acidophilus to the forumula mix to replenish some of the good intestinal flora to the little pup. One the things I appreciate also about this formula is the use of yogurt and goats milk. Goats milk is highly nutrional and an excellent choice to try and replace the mothers milk. I have a strong inclination that it can be used for other animals as well. If your thinking also where in the world can I find goats milk. Its usually available in the can on the baking isle of most grocery stores. Well I hope not many will ever have to make this formula, but if you do the links in this entry and don't hesitate to try it out.
