    Default Vetoquinol puppy milk

    Hi, I wanted to know based on these ingredients if this milk was good for squirrels. I already know about esbilac but I wanted to know if the milk we bought could be good enough. Here is the liste of the ingredients:

    Milk for Puppies contains :

    Guaranteed Analysis : Crude fat 32%, crude protein 28%, crude ash 7.6%, calcium 1.1%, phosphorus 0.8%, sodium 0.48%, crude fibre 0.2%.

    Composition : Milk and milk derivates, oils and fats, cereals, vegetable protein extracts, minerals.

    Additives/kg : Vitamins and provitamins: Vit. A 25,000 IU, vit. D3 1,000 IU, vit. E 160 mg, vit. B1 (thiamine hydrochloride) 22 mg, vit. B2 (riboflavin) 34 mg, vit. B6 16 mg, vit. B12 0.3 mg, vit. K 0.8 mg, vit. C 10 mg, taurine 2,000 mg. Trace elements: zinc (zinc sulphate monohydrate) 180 mg, iron (ferrous chelate of glycine, hydrate) 100 mg, manganese (manganous sulphate, monohydrate) 60 mg, copper (cupric chelate of glycine, hydrate) 10 mg, iodine (calcium iodate, anhydrous) 3 mg, selenium (sodium selenite) 0.3 mg. Antioxidants: BHT 62 ppm, BHA 10 ppm.

    They are at least 8 weekd old by the way, we have fed them this milk for 3 days now.

    No.

    If you cannot get the Esbilac (you can order from Amazon) can you get Royal Canin Puppy formula?

    If you can't find Esbilac....you can use goat's milk formula until you can find some....I've actually used it before for an extended period....I know it's not recommended here for long term use...but it is one of the generically safe formulas for mammal babies
    Here's the recipe used here....I also have found the fresh goat's milk in the dairy section at Walmart....and canned there also.

    The Peace of Wild Things
    BY WENDELL BERRY
    When despair for the world grows in me
    and I wake in the night at the least sound
    in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
    I go and lie down where the wood drake
    rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
    I come into the peace of wild things
    who do not tax their lives with forethought
    of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
    And I feel above me the day-blind stars
    waiting with their light. For a time
    I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

    Petco and PetSmart both carry the right Esbilac.

    Do not get the premade cans only powdered with pre and probiotics.
