Sorry, the clefts were 2 in one litter..both male and female were spayed and neutered and placed in loving pet homes. I also owned the sister to the female, I spayed her also with never breeding her. The one surviving pup is the girl I have now in my pics..Emma with quite a few health issues that I have kept here. She is a very tiny pup that I would call a runt for sure. Her littermates are healthy and no issues.
So now that it is not a cleft why else would a pup not latch on...
I use the whelping nest so the pup is nice and toasty warm but she is half the size of the other pups. Mom is 6.2 pounds and Dad is 4 pounds. Grandparents are all in the 5-7 pound range.
