Glad the vet found no cleft..

When you have a cleft in a litter, it does not mean you can never breed the sire or dam, again..I would not breed them to each other..many defects never occur again when anotehr stud or dam is use..but I understand your actions.

I would handfeed or tube the puppy until she is able to feed on her own...time will tell if she is healthy. I have had it go both ways...
