Fading puppy recipe

Can anyone share the fading puppy recipe - the one with cooked beef liver? TIA

This is what I have

Liver liquid for fading puppies

Large piece of Beef Liver-little bit of water-boil slowly, about 5 minutes
until the blood comes out. Let cool-drain the liquid and put just 4 drops (no
matter the breed) into a dropper and give to puppy. At first you give it every
2 hours for 12 hours, then every 4 hours. The article says you can do this for
however long you have to until you feel the puppy is thriving. I did this for
2 days and the turn around was miraculous. This was the smallest puppy --
just 4 ounces -- out of a litter of 7. He was doing fine for 3 days and then
began to fade. After only the second dose he came around, but I continued for 2
days.

Don't use any of the liver itself-it's way too rich--just the liquid.

I wouldn't have another litter without a piece of beef liver in the freezer.

I just spoke to a friend who has a much larger breed and she said she gave
the 4 drops every hour for 12 hours, and then went to every 2 hours -then to 4
hours. So I guess you can vary it for different breeds. She agreed it was
amazing. She had 2 fading puppies and they are fine now.
