puppy birth defect oh, yes, I did suction......nose and mouth. Can't say I got much out. Did "sling" him a few times. He was doing the gasping thing (not hard) from the get-go. He'd open his mouth and take a breath, about 2 seconds later do the same thing and I notice when I force him to be on a teat, he still opens the sides of his mouth breaking the suction and falls off the teat. Same w/the bottle, hence, the tube feeding. But I will try the goat's milk and Karo. Any other thoughts? Lin |
