On my daily walk, this little friend was laying on his dead mother (killed by a car, it was awful 
)
It was able to walk a bit around when I came back with a box, it is Sunday tomorrow so all vets or refuges are closed. Any tips? I gave a little bit of water next to it.
just wondering for my own curiosity but why would it need puppy milk specifically, is cow/goat milk not rich enough in protein
It's a combination of the nutritional profile and lactase. Cow milk in particular is really bad for young wildlife because it risks diarrhoea as much as it does protein deficiency. Goat milk is better tolerated by a lot of species but puppy milk replacement is the only formulation I know of that's generally safe for such a vulnerable age.
puppy milk has lactase in it so I'm guessing lactose intolerance is a big part of it
If that's the case could you give them cow/goat milk with lactase crushed up into it
I'm just some dumbass who googled "puppy milk ingredients," I'm not about to tell anyone what's safe to give to a baby animal
the lactase thing was just the first thing that stood out to me
