You have to be real careful though so you don't' puncture their throats or go too far with the tube. You can mostly use a small bottle with nipple which can be purchased at most Super Centers, Walmart,K-Mart, Target, etc. They should be fed every three to four hours. It won't take them long (appx two to three weeks) and you can start them on wet wet canned food mixed with the same milk you get from the vet. I put a tarp in the bathtub and let them hang out in there to keep the house from getting all nasty. It helps if you have a bathtub no one uses much.

Then again who has goats milk, sorry I live on a ranch and I get stupid every now and then. Goats milk will work if you can’t get to the vet or Pets mark.

Esibilac is what is usually available around here. They sell small bottles just to be used for the puppies. These pups will neeed to be fed every 2 hours day and night. If you work you will have to take them to work if at all posssible or find someone who can help you with the feedings. You also have to rub them to stimulate them to pee and poo. Use a heating pad to keep them warm. Good luck with these babies! You need to get puppy formula from the vet or pet store. Esibilac is what is usually available around here.

First you could go to petsmart and explain your situation and they should be able to find anything you would need. But if you can't get there right now if you have any baby formula that would be good for them also make sure you don't seperate hem from one another. Keep them very warm and feed them every 2 hours at least. Once again i praise you for our caring personality.
