My cleft is in the soft palet in the rear of her mouth. The top hard palet is together and her lip is fine. At what age did yours start eating? She will be 5 weeks old on Sunday. I'm having the same problem. She seems sooo skinny. I need her to gain more. I have nutrical as well. Do I mixit in her bottle?
I tried can food last night. She showed interest and ate a TINY bit but it came right out her nose. She actually shows more interest in food than the others do. Today I left hard food mostined with water but the mom always eats it. The coming out the nose thing, just started. I havn't had an issue with that until recent. She did fine thru the night and this morning with her bottle and minimal came out her nose. I think its a nipple thing. Some come out to fast so I switched a few till I found one just right.
I'm scared with the soft food but I want to get her eating so she'll gain some weight. Any ideas? My vet hasn't been all that helpful, just told me to do what I was doing and we'd evaluate her at a later time. I havn't called him on her since.
She too sounds all spit and sputtery like theres liquid in her nose or throat. Especially after just eating is the worse. Its kinda scary.
Any advise on how to get her eating. Or is it still to early?
So you think I won't need antibiotics at this point then?
I thought about seperating her from her large brothers and sister. The biggest is a brut , but she gives it right back to him. I've been hesitant on seperating her, just becasue of her being alone, and keeping her warm and everything. Her mom still takes care of her, just doesn't feed her.
Any ideas. You have no idea how good it is to talk to someone who's went thru this!!! |
