Watch how tiny newborn Cavalier puppies are fed formula by hand, using a syringe with a nipple attached.

I love how Apple looks at the camera like she’s the co-anchor of the show 😂

[@txnana5459]

I’m loving having puppies in the house again!

Apple is gorgeous. I love her freckles. Of all the Cavs I’ve looked at, freckles seem to be a rarity. ❤

Ciao Charlie , eccomi sintonizzata!Mi ricordi quando avevo 5/6 anni !Avevo un cucciolo di pastore tedesco di circa una settimana!Era così piccino , e la notte a turno con la mia famiglia,gli davamo il biberon piccolino quanto una siringa!Quanti sacrifici nella vita ! Complimenti ancora Charlie!Ci vorrebbero più Charlie in questo mondo!Ti saluto affettuosamente❤😊

[@gloriamargolis581]

Watson is getting darker markings it looks like on his head the spot area😊 I love seeing them develop with markings and facial expressions and features 😍☺️👍🏻❤️🙏

[@jayboyes3806]

Apple's pups could not be in better hands at this crucial time. You and your family must be very sleep-deprived - but you are hanging in there. Wonderful. (p.s. Can you top the liver joke?...we'll see...)

Good boy Watson! ❤ love these lil boys

[@ArthurTK26]

Ahhh the cutest feeding close ups!

[@jackiedurk8799]

Thank you for being such an amazing breeders!

[@chrisstepleton4761]

I think Apple is the most beautiful tricolor that I have ever seen. Her facial expressions are just the best. I am so glad that Bootsie and Apple are together. Thank you for sharing them with us. One day, I would love to see Apple produce a tricolor.

[@hrgalletly]

Apple is just so sweet.

[@patbee2270]

If the puppies could speak they would tell you that you are such a good dad and your wife too for getting the puppies growing.

[@gloriamargolis581]

It’s been known that Goats Milk is the next best thing to Mothers Milk even for human babies👍🏻❤️ dogs are Mammals and so are we so there we have it ☺️🥰🫶🙏

Apple’s first litter and she watches her trustworthy human with her babies.❤❤

Dear little Apple.She completely trusts you with her babies.Those dear little puppies are growing quickly.How hungry he is.These two puppies are certainly keeping you busy.Perhaps it was fortunate she did not have 5 puppies!

[@susantomes6721]

How lovely to see him really enjoying his food. All being well, thanks to your loving care these little boys are going to thrive. Wonderful. ❤

You are brave flipping Watson around with a full belly. Today I notice his ear flaps appear fuller, soft and getting floppy. I love these puppies. 😇😇

[@debirojecki]

Thanks for the update. You are amazing ❤️

[@sheliaprice8541]

Love watching you care for these babys, so sorry Apple has no milk. Do the puppy's still try to nurse?

[@chaskat35]

They absolutely do, although they can't get anything more than a drop or two.

[@lucieduguay7860]

What a job! Quel travail!

[@philipkathyshade3280]

Do puppies and their mothers remember each others scent for life, or does that scent recognition fade over time?

[@chaskat35]

We have witnessed our dogs running into their offspring after several years, and showing strong signs of recognition. We have also seen dogs whom we raised, but were then placed in other homes, recognize US by scent. I'd have to say that it's for life.

[@TheBurr75]

I could never cope with puppies , apple and you guys are stars

[@janhankins911]

This is probably a dumb question, but I'll ask anyway. Does the formula provide the same benefit of some protection against disease that colostrum provides? I can't imagine that it can, but I know nothing about this!!

[@chaskat35]

The one and only missing ingredient in the formula is colostrum. That's why we continue to allow Apple to nurse them - her milk flow may be miniscule, but they will get that benefit from her.

[@kathrynmettelka7216]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@wt0416]

When u do the upsidown. On ur tummy after feeding, dont they get nauseated?

[@chaskat35]

No - it's very brief, and very gentle.

[@jos9569]

Will subsequent litters be different? Or is a low milk supply likely to be an ongoing challenge if Apple has more puppies?

[@chaskat35]

The one thing I've learned in all these years is that you really never know.

[@sandypeppermint4665]

do the puppies get gas or bubbles ? and when will the puppies be old enough to have kibble or soft food with no bottle?

[@chaskat35]

Gas is not a problem, but bubbling up can be as they grow bigger and stronger. Since the feeding looks like it will be long-term, I will soon transition to bottle feeding, using a lower flow nipple. That should eliminate the bubbling problem and lessen the chance of aspiration.

[@chaskat35]

As far as weaning with soft food, I've done it as early as 3 weeks old, but these pups are still kind of small, so I'm thinking that we may have to wait until they are 3 1/2 to 4 weeks old. Normally, we wait until 4 or 5 weeks, but I'm suffering from loss of sleep, so we will do it as early as they can handle.

[@carmaarmstrong9743]

The formula sounds very nutritious and it seems like Watson likes it. I couldn’t help noticing Apple’s ears. When she was a puppy, is she the one who had the hair on one of her ears nibbled on which made the hair shorter? If so, she looks great now!!! Thanks for the update!

[@chaskat35]

Yes, she was the ear-chewer. It took a long time, but they look great now.
