Will a One Month Old Chihuahua Survive withough its mother

First, use an eye dropper for feeding (or syringe). You can go to a premmie nipple if you she will take it. Somtimes I would use one of those nipples made for little orphaned cats and dogs and put the syringe inside. Then I could control the milk flow. Be very careful she does not breath in the milk while you are feeding her. If this happens (gurgly sound, milk coming out of nose, coughing and gagging) hold her upside down while supporting her head by cupping her in your hands and swing her gently. This helps dislodge the fluid out of her lungs both with gravity and momentum.

Eventually she should be able to take the milk from a nipple with no problem. I started weaning mine at 5 weeks old, but it was only to chicken that had been blended to pulp. It really was only a supplement. Real weaning did not start until 6 weeks old and then it was a slow process over 2 weeks.

You can make homemade formulas, look them up on the net. I had great luck with them for both puppies and kittens. Word or warning, goat's milk is great, cow's milk is not. Evaporated milk is fine too. If you use one of the recipes with yogurt and evaporated milk, make sure you add water or she will get constipated. I used the recipe on the Leerburg website, but I doubled the water. The calorie count on his website is not correct- I added them up myself.

Puppies they MUST be kept warm (heating pad wrapped in towel with room for her to move off of it if so she will not overheat) in order to digest their milk. If the pup gets chilled, DO NOT try to feed her milk. She must be warmed up over a few hours. She can die if you try to feed her while she is chilled.
