Can I give growing puppies a little milk diluted in their water to aid bone development.?
Question by John Paul S: Can I give growing puppies a little milk diluted in their water to aid bone development.? Also can a pit viper bite kill a dog? Ive killed 2 vipers in the garden recently and the dogs tried to eat a dead one on the road. They’re out in force this year.
Best answer:
Answer by Stephanie H You certainly could, and there is no need to dilute it. But you know, you can buy calcium powder for dogs that you just mix into their food:) Hope I helped. P.S. I don’t know about the pit viper, but I wouldn’t recommend testing it…

Second one; Yes easily vipers have fangs that can release up to 8ml of venom at once, which is strong enough to kill 20 grown men if emergency hospital care is not given within at least half an hour.
The venom will rush through the blood stream and potentially kill the dog right away by blocking any white blood cells reaching the venom residue so there is no immune defence…..
EDIT: Oh then I appologise for saying they’re odd.
We don’t get vipers here, so I don’t know how you go about dealing with them, but I guess you could just have a pen for your dogs. And if you find a dead viper, move it from out of reach from your dogs.
But again, milks not a good idea. You can add supellements to their diet when they’re older, but a good quality food will be good enough.
I wouldn’t give growing puppies milk. A lot of dogs have lactose intolerance as anyway and it is really a no no.
If you are feeding a good quality food then you don’t need extra calcium anyway. The body cannot get rid of any excess calcium and it can lay it down as extra bone causing problems (OCD being one of them).
Dogs are lactose intolerant and do not do dairy, just because they do not go into a fit when they have milk or cheese, it does not mean ‘well my dog is ok with it’ or ‘well my dog loves it’. when I was younger I always gave my pup a cup of tea with milk, sometimes a bowl of milk and sometimes cheese – he was always ok and is still alive – he’s 12 and the vets guessed his age at 7 or 8, so he’s obviously doing well.
I guess it all depends on the dog. As a rule dogs ARE lactose intolerant, so some people would say no, some would say sparingly and others would say ‘sure, why not, give them a bucket of milk and a fridge of cheese every day’ but just because one persons dog is great on it, it does not mean to say yours will be. You can either give it sparingly, and see how your dog reacts…wind…bad poops…lethargic and bloated are the bad signs for up to 2 days, and sometimes there are non. Even if your dog is ok with the ilk, dogs change….and you never know what it may do in the long run.
there are puppy milks out there, but even our vet recommended pups only stay on this for a couple of week, and sparingly at that…not for every meal.
For calcium you can either give your dog puppy kibble – which I would avoid as it’s full of bi-products and is expensive and give the dog an unhealthy gas and poop….or you can feed a RAW diet and add 2 egg yolks a week plus VERY finely crushed egg shells (that fine it will look like a powder)…that will work fine. Cheaper, too
Don’t give them milk, they may like it but it isn’t good for them. If they’re really young theres that milk you can get for newborn pups as a substitute for the mom, but if not I suggest getting vitamins. You get vitamins and stuff from your petstore that will probably work a lot better.
As for the snakes, I’d suggest at least keeping them inside at night if you don’t already. Most snake bites occur just because the dog is a bit playful and curious, and puppies are very curious as you know. I guess it’d depend on the snake, and how long the dog went untreated once bitten.
Cows milk is for baby cows. The mother’s milk has all the nutrients a pup needs until they are weaned. If you’re talking about a weaned puppy, then feeding a high quality kibble will suffice. Cows milk tends to give dogs diarrhea.

LMAO – your questions are very different….
First one; I wouldn’t, why can;t the mum?

Good luck with your pups and the vipers!

Certainly not…ignore the first person.

What you want is “second step” weaning powder, not cow’s milk. In a pinch, goat’s milk is ok.
Yes a pit viper bite can kill a dog. Please be careful
Dogs are what is equivalent to lactose intolerance in humans, so NO milk.
If the bite contains venom, it’s very possible that it can kill a dog.
Cows milk is for baby cows. The mother’s milk has all the nutrients a pup needs until they are weaned. If you’re talking about a weaned puppy, then feeding a high quality kibble will suffice. Cows milk tends to give dogs diarrhea.
