We know how important good nutrition is for any living being, and how much dogs need quality food when they are growing up. However, many times dogs are abandoned even as puppies, or their mothers reject them and end up having a low weight, so in those cases we must intervene.
Whether you have found an abandoned puppy that has not eaten well, or if you have one at home that does not eat enough, you must take into account how to feed them. Only a good diet will make them have optimal growth and that they do not get sick when they are small. At this stage, being well fed is very important for avoid underweight.
On the one hand we must consult the vetSince depending on whether the dog is very weak or not, it will have to be admitted to be fed by vein. Normally, if we have it at home, we already see if it does not eat and we act before. It will be necessary to consult about the highest quality feed that is appropriate for their age. Premium feed is expensive, but the lower the quantity the higher the nutrient contribution compared to other cheaper feed. That is why it will be almost necessary to buy these feed in its growth stage. It will be necessary to give them small doses, three or four a day, so that they assimilate the food better.
On the other hand, you also have to take care of your hydrationespecially if they have had diarrhea or vomiting. We can even help with drinks like Aquarius, which rehydrate them much better. You have to take care that they hydrate enough. To know if they are hydrated, you have to stretch their skin a little as if we were pinching it. If you return to the site quickly, they are well hydrated, if not they need more hydration.
