socks 32,253 Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 Get a good wormer down them and get them on chicken and beef to get some body weight on them ... Pups that young should be piling the weight on ........ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stabba 10,745 Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 Ideally flesh and as much of it as they can eat. Expensive maybe if you have to buy it. But that should have been taken into account the minute you intended to breed/take pups on. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stretch177 39 Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 (edited) Drontal puppy suspension is what I use for pups good stuff. Get them on beef, chicken etc and they will pile the weight on This stuff http://www.vetuk.co.uk/puppy-supplies-puppy-wormers-c-836_842/drontal-puppy-suspension-p-103 Edited April 13, 2014 by Stretch177 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sandymere 8,263 Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Chappie is a much maligned dog food that has proven itself effective for dogs that have digestive problems so I hate to knock it but one suspects a good part of the reason it causes so few digestive problems is that it contains so few animal proteins. Allergies to food are most commonly to beef then other animal proteins with cereal being comparatively rare so most allergies will settle on Chappie. That’s all well and good for sensitive animals but you don’t seem to have a reason to suspect sensitivity in your pups so feeding something with a little more animal protein is perhaps a good idea. You could add in mince etc as already suggested, cooked or raw if its good quality, or you could buy a puppy complete and add in table scraps to enhance variety. Puppies don’t need masses of protein, 17% at a very minimum, but they do need some and a decent complete or adding meat to the diet will ensure they get what they need.

sowhat 1,572 Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 My pups always get raw chicken wings. Milbemax is a good wormer, its essential to use a good wormer , especially in young pups. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dan john 82 Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 I always give my pups beef mince which ant to dear and beta pup biscuits spoaked in warm water Quote Link to post Share on other sites
owendbowendb 132 Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Got pups here did the whole panacure 10 % as recommended on the bitch , after worming her 2 weeks before lining her as well. Wormed pups at 3 weeks yesterday with drontal tablets cut down still got some worms out of pups. You can use drontal/prazivet on pups from 3 weeks get some of that into them sheepish or some miblemax...any of the Johnson's Bob Martin stuff total shite, Weigh the pups and get it into them, read skyward thread on worming it's at the top pinned. Pups on chicken mince , and gain puppy and sapling ..looking good on it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
