Tube Feeding Recipe?

Can someone advise me on the cc amount per puppy weight for enteral???? Also how often??? I have one puppy that is much smaller than the others and not as strong, want to catch her up with strength.......Thanks in advance....

Re: Tube Feeding Recipe?

They need 30cc per 1/4 pound of body weight every 24 hours. Divide the daily amount by 12 and feed every 2 hours.

An 8 ounce puppy would need 60cc per day. Divide that by 12 feedings. That would equal 5cc per feeding.

Also, one feeding in 24 hours can be bumped to three hours if you need the sleep. Good luck.
