Well, early sun. morn, my Sassy gave birth to 3 nice size little boys. By the next day the firstborn had lost an ounce. So after checking him out, I discover he has a cleft palette. I am trying to bottle feed him, with the goats milk I had here. He is still losing weight and I can't seem to get much in him, he's very active and hungry acting, Mom is taking care of his potty needs. Has anyone here had any luck saving a puppy with a cleft? Any advice?
