I was told by the doctor that delievered them that they all were cleftpalate free and all were healthy. This one feed by itself most of the time. I make the mother feed her separtly when I am there just to make sure that he is getting enough. I also suppliment with inbetween. Is there such thing as a really fast matablizim in puppies that they just can't keep up with the demand? He seems to like the suppliments more then milk from his mother. Thank you for all your suggestions. I am going to buy nurtrical on my lunch and try with that. I hope that it works, because he is my favorite out of the group so far. I love him.
