Lerchie asked:
The 2 puppies just turned 6 weeks old. The vet said we should have the weaned by the middle of next week. He suggested giving them puppy food with water or milk ground up in the blender. We’ve been doing this since last Tuesday and the puppies seem to only eat a small bit each time. One puppy tends to eat more than the other. I try to feed them at least 4 times a day. They still try to suck on their mom whenever she is around. Any ideas for helping the process along?
