My puppy is under a month old and abused. How do I care for her?

Question

I just had a black puppy yesterday and she is about like less than a month old so we don't know really know how to take care of her. What am I going to do about her? Also she had bruise on her body because the recent owner's dogs abused her. Please help me. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 1 month and 9 days old

Tail Out quite young, so you are going to have to bottle feed with her a puppy formula as well as starting to transition her to a dry puppy food. I will put a link below on how to bottle feed a puppy. To help her wean and to get used to dry food, I would soak a high quality puppy formulated dry food in warm water until soft. Then mix that with puppy formula such as KMR to make a mush the consistency of oatmeal. Over the next two weeks, gradually increase the amount of dry puppy food and decrease the amount of water and KMR you use until she is eating the dry puppy food only. As for the bruise, I would be concerned she may have internal injuries from the abuse, and she needs to be checked out by a vet immediately. Please take her into one right away. Best of luck. https://www.2ndchance.info/orphanpuppy.htm
