Good Morning,

My yorkie had two puppies and 1 of them has a cleft palate. We took him to the vet at 5 days and the vet said to let him die but I refuse to give up. We started to bottle feed him but today he just stopped sucking on the bottle. He cries alot and I think its because he has air in his tummy. Im scared to tube feed him. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. We keep him warm and feed him every 2 hours around the clock.
