So is the way to tell for sure to put my finger in his mouth to see if I get suction? Also, do I need to tube feed them, or do you think I could bottle feed them? I'm so nervous to tube feed, but will do anything I can for these little guys too. ?? |
Sometimes puppies make funny noises when nursing...have you been to the vet? I'm sorry I haven't posted since my first one but I hope things work out for you. I've never had a pup with cleft palate so my heart goes out to you!
