Bless your heart! That attitude is not uncommon in some breeders....I am very encouraged tht he just has a lip defect! I have a dear friend that got a puppy from a breeder that had an extensive cleft palate, all up across the roof of the mouth....and with a ton of patience and attention and work, Ozzy-Moo is now 12 years old!!! Use the formula I have posted on here many times....it supplies all the calories and vitamins that darling needs....and his tummy and bowels will remain fine with no constipation!

8oz Just Born (Esbilac will work...theyseem to like the taste of Just Born better)
4 oz Pedialyte
1 raw egg yolk
1 cup Kefir milk (You can use live cultured yogurt if you can not find Kefir milk....it is back in the cooler where the yogurt and cottage cheese are kept)
3 tbsp Karo Syrup
2 tbsp Vi-Daylin Pediatric Drops
Put this in a jar and mix it well....shake well and let the tiny bubbles settle a little before feeding the formula to baby....feed the formula warm, and be sure baby is warm....I like to wrap my enfants in a wash cloth that has warmed in the dryer....it keeps baby snug and comfortable. If this baby has no other life threatening defects, and if you keep this little soul warm and fed every 3 hours around the clock, I feel very confident you will successfully keep this baby alive and he will thrive. Email me with any questions you may have....ladyofrosehill@aol.com! You will be working your butt off doe the nezt 6-8 weeks, but you chances are good you will be rewarded!!! You also need to weigh this baby on a food scale or postal scale twice a day to be sure he is goining weight daily....this formula is calorie dense and he needs the calories to thrive!) (I will talk to you about tube feeding later....!!)
