23 days is very young for a pup to be away from its mother, it really should be on milk and just starting to wean. If yiu have it you will have to get a good quality food for young puppies such as royal canin or Hills stater mousse. You could mix soft puppy food with dog milk formula if you ate reallly stuck.
