    Default 4health puppy milk replacer special powder supplement

    I went to the store to get Esbilac puppy milk replacer but at the store I went to all I could find was "4health puppy milk replacer powder formula supplement". Is that ok to feed to a 5-6 week old orphaned squirrel? I successfully raised 2 squirrels 5 years ago but it's been so long I don't remember exactly everything but I'm relearning.

    No. Even the name says the tale (supplement) and it is not even a suitable whole diet formula for puppies: "4health Puppy Milk Replacer is intended for intermittent or supplemental feeding only."

    Esbilac Powder on the other hand: "Esbilac can be fed as a complete diet for puppies up to 6 weeks old or as a nutritional supplement for weaned puppies."

    Esbilac is THE only puppy formula we know to meet the nutritional needs of baby squirrels (except Royale Canine which is available outside the United States).

    You could also use Fox Valley 20/50 which is a squirrel formula, available only on-line though:
