anyone have a good milk replacer recipe, using esbilac but can't find any and it is on back order, have seven bullies and mom with no milk, also I have saw a page with puppy weights and amounts to feed, I am tubing the puppies, thanks Kim
milk replacer made at home
10 oz. evaporated milk (whole fat) or goat's milk
3 oz. sterilized water (baby water or boiled water) or pedialyte - delete if using goat's milk
1 egg yolk (raw)
1 cup whole fat yogurt
place in blender or wire wisk mix well. Use within 7 days. Keep in refrig. Warm to puppies body temp(101 degrees). I usually use stat or polyvisol or some form of liquid vitamins. Keep benebac on hand in case of diahrrea and I also always keep mylicon drops on hand for gas with bottle fed puppies. Good luck.

To those who understand no explanation is needed. To those who don't no explanation is possible.
I used......
Similac Alimentum with great success. Pups put on weight nicely and no headshakes or gas.
