This formula that I created has been helping Paul steadily gain weight.

4 oz. evaporated milk

2 oz. sterilized water

1/2 tsp. oil

2 Tbs. Kayro syrup

1 egg yolk

1 cup plain yogurt

2 Tbs. white sugar

In blender mix all  of the above.  Refrigerate in air tight container.  Do not keep formula over 7 days.

Makes 16 oz  or  2 cups formula

Paul's first week of bottle feedings he would consume 4 Tbs. of formula in a 24 hour period in addition to nursing on mom.  Paul weighed 3 1/2 oz at birth and by one week of age he is at 7 oz.  Any healthy puppy should have doubled its weight in its fist week of life.

Good going Paul!

 Paul's 2nd week - bottle feedings every three hours around the clock:

I increased the yogurt to 1 1/2 cup and I also added puppy vitamins when making the formula

By two weeks of age Paul consumes 8 Tbs. of formula in a 24 hour period and also weighs 9 1/2 oz. 

Keep it up Paul!

Paul's 3rd week - bottle feedings every three hours from 7:00 am -1:00 am:

By three weeks of age Paul consumes 10 1/2 Tbs. of formula in a day and weighs 14 oz. 

Keep growing Paul your doing good!

The morning of 27 January 2004 Paul was having trouble breathing and was taken to the vets.

He had pneumonia and was laid to rest at 10:33 am Tuesday 27 January 2004

Paul would have turned  four weeks old on 29 January 2004

These flames burn in loving memory of "Paul"
