MIRACLE PUPPY FORMULA
This is a formula that has come from many breeders and I have no idea who the original auther is. It is one of the best I have seen, especially if you have to rely on formula as the only nourisment for the puppies.

This formula is reminiscent of other oldtime formulas, but is safe because the eggs are cooked.

Mix the following ingredients together

4 egg yolks
1-2 Tbsp. cornstarch
1/3 cup dark Karo syrup (if unavailable, use corn syrup)
2 cups evaporated milk or goat milk (goat milk preferred)
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla

Cook mixture on stovetop at low temperature, stirring frequently, and take it off the burner as soon as you see the first bubbles - this is important.

Pudding may be thinned as necessary for newborns or very young puppies. Thin with Pedialyte (or other unflavored infant electrolyte solution) or plain water. I strain it through a fine sieve so that I can use it either for tube feeding or bottle feeding.

NOTE: DO NOT HEAT FORMULA IN MICROWAVE. TO HEAT, PUT DESIRED AMOUNT IN A SMALL CUP OR BOWL AND SET IN HOT WATER.

If desired, add a pinch of acidophilus powder (refrigerated type) just before feeding, not before. Heat will kill the cultures. Note that most brands contain a number of cultures in addition to acidophilus - this is GOOD. "bifidus" in particular has advantageous to newborns.
