The teeth in the mouth of young puppies are not yet fully grown, and the gastrointestinal function is extremely fragile. For the owner, special attention must be paid when choosing food for the puppies. Want to know how to feed a 2 month old puppy?</<center><img alt="Feeding" height="435" src="" style="display:none;"" width="500" class="aligncenter"/></center><1. Food: For puppies that have just been brought home, it is necessary to understand the The type, amount and feeding time of the puppy&#39;s food should be kept the same as the previous owner as much as possible, and then slowly change their eating habits after a week. Otherwise, changing the eating habits, changing the environment and changing the new owner, or a series of sharp changes such as long-distance transportation from other places, will make the dog&#39;s body produce a strong stress response, resulting in a decrease in the dog&#39;s resistance. Gastrointestinal dysfunction can easily lead to disease.</<In addition, the puppy&#39;s gastrointestinal digestive ability should be considered weak, and the food should contain less fiber and should be soft and easy to digest. Some families give a lot of meat out of doting. Gastrointestinal dysfunction occurs after 1 to 2 days. Generally within 3 to 4 months, it is advisable to eat porridge-like food or dry food after soaking in water. Some other foods often cause indigestion, diarrhea and so on. Dog pups eating milk can also easily cause diarrhea. The protein content of dog mother&#39;s milk is 3 times that of cow&#39;s milk and 7.5 times that of human milk. It is a kind of high-protein, high-fat and low-lactose milk. The substances in high lactose milk are different from those in dog milk. Insufficient enzymes to digest lactose in the dog&#39;s intestines (genetic factors), if the milk (or food) fed to the pups contains a lot of high sugar, it often leads to fermentation in the intestines and causes diarrhea. Therefore, 2-month-old puppies should be fed high-protein food plus vegetables (equivalent to food for 4-5-month-old babies). If you give chicken breast or beef with less fat, add a small amount of vegetables, cut them into filaments, add some bread crumbs or rice and stir well. Feed 3-4 times a day. Appropriately add some calcium powder (or bone meal, active calcium, etc.) to the food, and drop 1 to 2 drops of vitamin A and D liquid to meet the needs of bone growth and development.</<2. Excretion: Pay attention to observe whether the urine is normal. The number of bowel movements varies with age. Several times a day at 1 month old and about 3 times a day at 2 months old. The frequency of stool is related to the type of food. For example, when meat is added with rice, the amount and frequency of stool are less, and when feeding starchy food for a long time, the frequency and amount are more. And pay attention to the color, smell or the presence of worms in the puppy&#39;s stool. Normal stool is strip-shaped, moderately soft and hard, and usually yellowish in color. But it is also affected by food, such as when there is more meat or some liver is added, the stool becomes black and so on. The frequency of urination also varies with age. At 1 month old, about once every 2 hours, and at 2 months old about 5 to 6 times a day. Urine is pale yellow or clear and transparent to be healthy. Usually the first time in the morning, the color of urine may be slightly thicker. If the color of urine is always thicker, it may be sick, and you should go to the animal hospital for examination.</<3. Education: From 2 months onwards, education of good habits should be carried out. At this time, first name the dog, often call her name, let her know that it is to call her, and establish a conditioned reflex to make it come. Another name for education is to urinate, urinate or go to the toilet to defecate. Generally, the puppies before 4 months will not hold back their urination, and they will urinate when they have.</<4. Health: Make the puppy&#39;s life regular. Feeding should be timed, quantitative, and nutritionally balanced. Can not let the puppy picky eaters, to prevent nutritional disorders. Pay attention to prevent hypervitaminosis (especially vitamin A or D) or calcium deficiency. It is not advisable to let the pups overeat, generally 7-80% full; do not give spoiled food to prevent diarrhea or poisoning.</<Doggies are afraid of cold, no matter winter or summer, keeping warm is an important job for puppies. If the dog&#39;s abdomen is always cold, it can cause diarrhea or a cold.</<Sunbathing and exercise. Whether it is a <span style="text-decoration:underline;">small dog</span> or a small dog, it is not advisable to take it for a walk on the road before 5 months. Due to the skeleton of the puppy, walking for a long time can cause the bones of the limbs to deform, and it is also susceptible to diseases outside. Appropriate play and exercise can be done indoors or in the courtyard. Sun exposure when the sun is not too hot is good for bone growth.</<Health check: conduct a physical examination once a month, test urine and urine, and expel intestinal parasites if necessary (look for a reputable animal hospital with good conditions).</<Vaccination: At 2 months after birth, the antibodies brought from the mother have almost been eliminated, and various viral diseases may occur. Therefore, the most important thing is to inoculate canine distemper, canine distemper Vaccines such as viruses and infectious hepatitis. Resistance (antibodies) does not develop until about 2 weeks after the vaccine is given. At about 2 months, if the vaccine is not vaccinated, and the epidemic is prevalent or may be infected, the anti-virus serum can be injected directly to directly enhance the body&#39;s resistance, and the vaccine can be administered after 2 weeks&nbsp;</
