So about a month ago my mum brought home 2 chihuahua puppies that were only a few days old. Their mother had died and they had nobody to take care of them. She put them into this small box with a heating lamp and fed them baby formula every few hours. After a week or so, 1 of the puppies died. So now there is only 1 left and he had just been diagnosed with pneumonia.
My mother has no idea why the mother and the other puppy died. She just said it was too weak. I wonder if it's a genetic thing?
Also is this a good living environment for a puppy? I had read that puppies should not be taken away from their mother before 8 weeks. He must be very lonely all by himself.
What can I do to make it better for him? Is he old enough to start any sort of training? Should u get him some toys or something?

Baby formula or puppy formula? There's a difference.

It's baby formula unfortunately. I also wasn't aware that there is a difference. Is it a big problem?

Thanks. When do you think he can start eating solid food?

Oh boy, how much baby formula did you feed them? Please don't use 4chan, a Thai Ladyboy Dating Forum, as the first fucking place to get information from. Google can give you more results faster. There's a ton of information about taking care of puppies, and you need to know it ASAP, so google that, read it, and come back with questions.

Thanks I will do that. They've been fed baby formula since my mum got them home about a month ago. I hope we haven't done too much damage :(
