oh my god, I could never have guessed it would be quite as good as it was. I don’t normally like the texture of flan, and sometimes the flavor is too much like a large glass of milk with sugar, but the goat milk gave it a creamier texture, and a more complex yet subtle flavor. the caramel sauce highlighted it perfectly.

Question by nobleview: How much milk should a 1 1/2 week old puppy eat?
My rat terrier gave birth to 6 puppies on 9/05/08 and she rejected the runt today. I called the vet to find out what to feed him and she gave me the recipe for the goats milk formula. I’m just scared he’s eating to much. This is my first time doing anything like this and I need all the advice I can get. Thanks

  1. Pups usually only eat as much as their bellies can hold. Over feeding is really not too much of a concern. If your that worried then start with 1/2 oz and see if that will satisfy the pup. If not then gradually increase the amount until the pup seems satisfied.
    Did the vet tell you to also burp and help stimulate the pup to pee & poop too?

    This is also very easy to do too. Just place the pup on your chest in an upright position and gently pat it’s back and rub it’s sides. Once this is done then gently wipe the genitals with a warm damp cloth until the pup pees and poops!
    If mom will clean the pup up for you then there is no need to help stimulate the pup. Let mom do it.
