lilfoot congrats on the litter

I would suppliment the pup through a syringe it will be much easier on her as well you will have more success getting more down her than a bottle, also it will eliminate the air bubbles and or gas you mentioned.

One thing I wouldnt do is a repeat breeding on this mating because a cleft palate and lip are genetic rarely are they environment (pregnant bitch exposed to pesticides, toxins, medicated or over supplimented with certain vitamins during pregnancy). Cleft babies can live a full life because as they grow the opening should lesson, you can have good success correcting the worse with surgery closing the palate.

This little gal should be adopted on a strict spay contract.

hope this helps
