Hello the three exceptionally large puppies have finally taken to the bottle. The other small three have gone back with mum. The puppies will only take lactol, I have tried the RC Milk but they just spit it out and wont suckle, as soon as they know its lactol they drink for their lives. They are one week old. I know that this isnt the best milk is there anyway I can get them to take the RC Milk or would you just stick to what they like as I suppose Lactol is beter than nothing.

i had same proplem with a litter ,i used the gold lactol in the end and had to throw the RC away xx

Its weird isnt it. Its a shame because ive brought 5kg of RC. How often does the gold have to be given? Is it every two hours like lactol?

yes its given the same my girl loved to drink it too :)

I have no idea about breeding at all but was wondering if it is possible to mix the two together and slowly decrease the amount of the one you want to stop and increase the other? Rather like changing a dog over from one brand of food to another. Just a thought :-)

have you tryed mum with the RC she might drink it then its not going to waist :-) but none of my girls would drink it! xx

Maybe you could use the RC milk when they are older? Use it in porrige or scrambled eggs, saves throwing it away
