Understanding Puppy Development
When a puppy is born, it is entirely dependent on its mother for warmth, nutrition, and care. Newborn puppies are blind and deaf, and they rely on their sense of smell to find their mother's teat. The first few weeks are crucial for their development, and the mother's milk provides all the necessary nutrients for their growth.
When to Start Hand-Feeding
In cases where the mother is unavailable or unable to care for her puppies, hand-feeding becomes necessary. Puppies can be hand-fed as early as a few hours after birth if they are orphaned or rejected by their mother. It's essential to act quickly to ensure they get the colostrum, which is rich in antibodies and provides passive immunity.
