I am just outside Tulsa in Oklahoma. I think OSU has a vet program in Stillwater. A bit of a ways from me, but if he doesn't get better I will check them out.

The puppy food seems like a boat load more calories more than what he is getting now. But some of the ingredients aren't available around here so I may have to improvise. I did some searching online. Our only pet store is a Petco. But if I did my calculations correctly he is getting 96 or so calories a day on Goats Milk, compared to what would be over 1300 with the other. I must not be doing the math right. 16 cc 6 times a day 14 calories per cc.

When the one vet looked at him on day 2, there was no cleft palate, and he was whining to loud to hear his heart. She could only hear his wheezing and hence the antibiotics. But no outward signs of major problems. But I forgot to tell you he has 1 half ear. She said something as simple as the ear mamma could reject him.

At 4 weeks, another vet his heart sounded fine. But his head movements, no teeth, and ears still closed, they didn't want to deal with him. Said he was too far behind the other pups.

Today he finally got his upper canines and front top teeth. Spoke to the vet and she said to start bottle feeding him watered down jar baby food.

I am at a loss. I am going to try the recipe here minus the nutri drops. I can't find them local. Have to order them online. What is the shelf life of it? It seems like it will make a lot and the puppy milk is only good for 72 hours.

Thank you so much to everyone on here. As far as the type of terrier, black and tan with a scruffy mouth. Most of the pups look like beagles except for their colors but I have 2 with the terrier mouth, Tiny is one.
