Cocker Spaniels/Feeding 4 weeks old pup

Question
How many times a four weeks old cocker spaniel pup should be fed and at what times.

Answer
At this age the pup should still be with its' Mother since it's not weaned yet.
I strongly suggest you call your vet and get what you'll need to keep this puppy alive.

You can short term use human baby food and let him lick it off your finger BUT...read the label and do NOT use anything with onion powder in it.  This could kill him.

He will need a "formula" - so get to the vet immediately.  At this age dehydration is a real threat.

Feeding is constant at this age - every 2 hours.  You need vet advice quickly.

Health, nutrition, training. Please note: I used to highly recommend Innova products but, unfortunately, as with Canidae, they have sold out to Proctor & Gamble. This guarantees lower quality to a dangerous point so I will no longer be advising anyone to buy it.
