i think i might have the same problem my yorkie had 3 pups on june 20th..would of been 4 but 1 was dead inside her but she pushed him out..sadly the girl i was keeping died 3 days later..i named them samson and scooter..scooter was the runt and samson the bigger..i noticed scooter catching up to him in weight and samson putting a few oz on each time i weigh them morning and night..last night i noticed he was 15.80oz morning night 15.30oz and seem lifeless i call the emergency vet and like you not 1 i like..she thought he had a cleft palate from the shape of the roof of his mouth differ from scooter.she said he will die on me..i'm giving him the milk threw a syringe cause the bottle isn't working and he still sucks from the mother and i weigh him soon after and he's up some oz..there' is no leaking threw the nose,or coughing he just doesn't seem bubbly like he did in the beginning..do all puppies this way need the operation and what is the survival rate cause his roof looks normal except shaped a little different from scooter..when i take them in at 5wks for deworming my vet is going to check again.. i'm in ontario canada is the operation pricely and do they all need the operation cause it doesn't look severe..thanks

I raised a cleft baby and she is 4 yrs old now. I would NOT put her to sleep if she is eating!!! She sounds like a fighter. It's a long haul but these babies are worth saving. My girl is here with me today and I'd never change a thing. Hers is in her soft pallet. I did not have hers fixed. She drinks from a.water bottle and eats hard kibble. I bottle fed her until almost 4 months. She was half the literate size and now she is normal size. They do catch up. Everything is just slower. It sounds like you are doing good. Go to the leerburg website and use that formula to feed. It has more calories per cc. I used this to raise Tia. Good luck. You can do it!!!!

Sorry I said she. I mean he !!!

it's so nice to hear something nice one here..i'm taking samson to my new vet the other 1 was a vet on call and i don't like this vet but i had to go see them in emergency..i weigh him before and after a feeding..i was up at 6:30 for another feeding i weighed him then put him back in and he was feeding off of the mother before i could get his food so i thought i would wait and weigh him when he was done he was 17.60gr before and after 17.75gr so i thought he got some will feed him after which i did at 9:00 the vet asked me when he feeds any milk come threw the nose ..no is he coughing or sneezing a lot...no..did tia do this when she was small i'm gonna try this mon they will be 4wks on sunday wet puppy food mixed with the milk replacement but i will look up that website..all the vet noticed was his roof of his mouth is shaped wider then scooter his brother..did you buy tia off of a breeder that way or did you breed and keep her..i only wanted to breed chloe once and keep a girl..there would of been 4 she had 1 dead inside her but pushed him out..then the girl i was keeping died 3 days later why i don't know i took her to the vet he didn't know and didn't think to look at the roof so who knows..if samson has this hopefully i don't need the operation cause i heard it's pricey and i've sunk 1600.00 so far in this breeding process and no i'm not doing it again lol,between the stud services,x-ray to find out how many pups and was told only 3 and 2 emergency vets,dewclaws,tailed docked and first shots yup 1600.00 but i was a first time at this i bred my siberian husky once and kept a male and they were so self sufficinet nothing like these small breeds hopefully you'll answer questions at the beginning of this letter and thanks again keep in touch
