I think you are talking about Lamlac or Lamblac which is a ewe milk replacer which comes as a powder that you make up.

Again, I think you've been told this before on this forum, too much calcium for a young Rottie pup will lead to growth issues. I'd imagine Lamblac is chock full of nutrients and calcium so lambs will thrive.

If you're feeding a good complete puppy food then I don't see why you would need Lamlac.

Do you mean lambs milk? If you give a good quality puppy feed there should be no need to give it. Some puppies don't tolerate it so well once they are weaned.

It is more useful to help supplement the mothers milk in younger puppies from large litters.

Why are you looking to give this to your puppy at this age?

My mother got a bitch last nite and its only 8weeks old and its literaly twice the size of my 11week old male . The breeder was feeding the pups nuts , raw mince and the lamb stuff so i was just wondering if it was ok . I would never give my dog raw meat tho .

andreac

Why wouldn't you give raw meat? Its very good for them.

Theres no need to feed your pup Lamb Lac. Just feed it a good quality puppy food and little and often to try and put weight on your puppy.

All depending on the breeder of your pup, your pup just might not be as good a quality/pedigree as your mothers one hence the size.

The worst thing you can do is try and feed this pup up at this young age. Slow and steady is best so don't try and pile on the weight as it will only cause issues for your pup.

Raw meet is good for a pup? I read in my rottie book that they cant digest it? I give him cooked mince once a day because he is a good bit under weight. Would i be better off with raw so?

andreac

Have a look online about the Raw/Barf diet. To be honest, if I could afford it I would be feeding all of my dogs a raw diet.

Raw is much better for them than cooked as cooking takes a lot of the goodness out of the meat.

Not sure why that book would say that, but its incorrect. So many people now are choosing raw diets for their dogs as its so much healthier. But def do some reading into it.

Raw chicken wings/drumsticks etc are great for chewing on. But never ever give cooked bones to a dog.

Different dogs are different sizes and that's perfectly ok and normal. I think it was me who already advised you to let the pup grow SLOWLY Don't pack weight and muscle onto bones that can't support it. I have first hand experience of bone deformities and wouldn't wish it on anyone else - are you in a position to crate that dog for 12+ weeks if you do damage and potentially have to limit his exercise for the rest of his life because that's the reality of it - it's not scare tactics.

As an example I followed a slow growth plan with my retriever that's recommend by American retriever clubs. I kept her lean on purpose and yes she was a bit smaller than other retrievers her age but now she's at most 1 incg shorter than my 5 year old male but is 3 KGs heaveir than him because she has bigger muscles than him.

Why would you not feed meat btw? That's what I've been feeding my pup since she was 9 weeks old and a much better option than nuts imo - I did mix the meat with good quality wet food btw to bulk out meals for the first 6 months or so

hmmmmm Rottie11 - how many dogs do you actually have???

you have a 2 year old staffie bitch (that lives with your mum), you now have a 10 week old rottie (living with you), your girlfriend has a king Charles spaniel (5 months old), your mum get a new pup last night…

you’re on boards asking silly questions even though you said you’re an experienced dog owner…. you’re going to show the dogs who’s boss, make him sit by using your hand, you don’t seem to understand all puppies play bite, you put him in a different room when he “bold”….
you now say you wouldn’t feed your dog raw meet..

It’s just all just doesn’t add up im afraid… personally I’m thinking troll….

I never said i was giving him the lamb stuf . I was just asking if it was ok to for my moms pup . Ya i have a staffy and rottie. My gf has a king charles, my mom has a rottie and a chiwowwow (cant spell) whats your point? Is there a law against having a few dogs? Im reading one thing in books and people say otherwise

Well you just happen to have the owner of the Irish champ Rottie giving you advise here on boards - if it was me that's who I'd be listening to I've seen her dogs too and they're stunning!

rottie 11

Who , you is it?

Rottie, you asked was it ok to give it to your puppy as its smaller than your mams pup. To be honest, that milk is only really to be used on very young pups to supplement the mothers milk, so theres no need to give either your pup or your mams pup the milk at this age now as they have been weaned from their mothers long ago.

If you are feeding a good quality food and some meat too then that should be fine. Slow and steady for weight gain is the way to go.

Have you any photos of your puppy?

TBH, you said you have dogs before and your around dogs i.e. your 2 year old staffie yet you seem to know very little if anything at all about dogs… im sorry if that’s harsh but it’s the way you are coming across.

Im just in doubt that someone who has had dogs before your rottie pup could know so little and as result I think your trolling – just my opinion

Either way good luck with your pup.... and your mums pup

Folks, can I remind you that it's against the charter to call troll on other posters... If you've a problem with a post, report it instead.
Whilst the op in this and other threads does seem to be tripping themselves up and asking a lot of questions that one might not expect from an experienced dog owner, we may give them the benefit of the doubt and try to help them on the assumption that they genuinely need help.


Now with mod hat off.
By the same token op, you were given advice to get a good dog trainer/behaviourist in to help you with some issues you're having. I'm not sure if you've taken that advice but I think, if you had, you wouldn't have to ask many of the questions you're asking, because you'd have been able to get a qualified opinion from a qualified source (if you went with the suggestion I gave you) rather than casting about on the internet... A source of great information if you know what you're looking for, but a bloody dangerous source of "information" if you're not able to discern the truth from the quackery.
