What formula should I use for 2-week-old puppies whose mom ran away?

Question

Hi I'm seeking help ASAP, I road past a street a friend of mines live on, and his dog which has puppies that are about 2 weeks old. And I've seen the mom dog ran out the door and away not knowing if she'll return. I want to help them out incase she doesn't return and I hope she return home. I need to know what formula is recommended for the pups I have clean syringes at home I am a nurse. And not only do I care about people. I care for animals.

At two weeks they are able to eat both semi solid foods and puppy milk formula, they are likely willing to lap and may not need syringe feeding. More than likely she will return to feed them, they should start gradual weaning from now even if she does in case she wanders again!
