I'm still reading, but that part is still unclear to me. How do I know how severe & what to compare to & is there a difference between cleft lip & cleft palate on how to care for these guys? It sounds like if they have cleft lip, they often have cleft palate. If they are getting suction does that mean they don't have cleft palate? Sorry for the many questions!! |
From what I've read is milk coming out of the nose?
Ok, if you are waiting to take to vet till Monday all I can suggest is if they are nursing and tummies are round and they aren't crying let them be for now. Keep them warm. Does that make sense? But in all honesty I'd be taking them to the vet and it's your choice as to what they do as in putting one to sleep it's your choice not theirs and I'd go from there..
