I personally had no issues with the egg what so ever and I fed this formula from birth on to a tiny tiny Chi pup.

I hope the little puppy is ok! Good luck, she sounds like a fighter.

Just an FYI, Zaccheus' cleft was only a pin hole size. In fact, we weren't even sure he had one when he was so tiny. We just went on the assumption, and ended up being correct.
As for the formula, I never had any trouble with it. I used powdered Esbilac. Of course, I only had my vet's advice, at the time. But Zacchie is fine and healthy now, after a year and a half.

Thanks everyone for your help and support. The little girl died. I found her mother laying on her. I think that maybe she was too weak to struggle out from under mom and smothered. This is a first for me. I have never even dreamed that a mom would lay on a weak or sick puppy. Maybe she was trying to keep her warm, maybe she had died and mom was still trying to keep her warm. I donno.

I would have written sooner but I needed a few days. I am going to post another question but it may be under Breeding. Thanks again all of you wonderful people. Sylvia

Oh, Sylvia!
