My daughters Yorkie had four males. They are all doing great. One has bilateral cleft lip. Very little to No palate involvement. I have been helping her feed him with an eye-dropper every two hours and he seems to be doing well. He is at least sustaining his weight. The vet did not give him much hope but he is for a re-check tomorrow. My question is has anyone on here ever given their pups regular infant formula? We live in a small town and do not have a Pet Store so pet formula is not readily available. I know that I can ask the vet but I feel that there is more experience here on this forum. The vet can only offer advice that he has often learned over his years of practise.

Thanks for any helpful information.
