Jexxie, That's what I ended up doing with Zaccheus. he did fine with the bottle until a certain point, then sudden'y, like Tia, he couldn't anymore. The vet explained that it was just because his mouth outgrew the nipple, and the formula wasn't getting far enough down his mouth to swallow before it went up into his sinuses, and out his nose.
