Expert Answer

A 15-day-old puppy cannot be weaned and should be breastfed; without a mother, prepare pet goat formula and feed every 2 hours, 2 to 5 ml each time. Also keep it warm, since weak puppies easily catch cold and may even die; keep the environment at 22 to 25°C.

Finally, a 15-day puppy cannot defecate on its own, so the owner must wet a cotton swab or tissue with warm water and stimulate the anus and urethra to help it eliminate.
