No, we tube fed …
No, we tube fed because one of the pups was born with a clef pallet; therefore, it was unable to suckle. Since we were set up for the tube feeding, we also decided to tube feed the others. Do not try this unless your vet has been consulted. Very risky and you can kill the pups if the feed is sent down the trachea.

No, its usually …
No, its usually done for speed & quickness unless in rare circumstances the puppy was fading. If mum cant feed pups BOTTLE is the next best thing, newborn pups have to be feed every 2/3 hours for a couple of weeks that means through the night they can not be left unattended. Tube feeding carries risks you can drown, over feed, kill..It should be carried out by someone WHO knows what they are doing…Personally I would rather bottle feed everytime & tube feeding would be my last resort…

Only advance tube …
Only advance tube while pup is suckling. Mark the tube with a marker to know when to stop advancing. Tip of the nose to the end of ribs. If the tube begins to enter the trachea, the puppy should begin to gag/resist the tube. Pull the tube back and restart. Do not advance any feed until you know the tube has entered the esophagus. If the feed enters the trachea your puppy will end up with feed in its lungs; die. Procedure is delicate, first seek the advice of your vet. (only allowed 500 words)

Can you miss the …
Can you miss the spot? that is, insert the tube down the wrong pipe? And if so, how could you tell by the length of the tubing inserted or the puppy’s reaction?

The mother did not …
The mother did not have enough milk; a puppy was born with a cleft palate and would have starved to death if it were not for the vet that supplied us with the catheter and syringe. In addition, it was also done to supplement their feeding after it was discovered that they were not gaining weight, but losing it because of the lack of nourishment (milk).

The puppy has a …
The puppy has a cleft palate; therefore, the puppy is unable to suckle. The puppy would half died of starvation if we did not intervene. It is rare today for an bulldog to free whelp her litter; hence, the majority of the puppies are delivered via c-section. In are case the mother also had very little milk. Bottle-feeding was one option; however, milk aspiration is a major risk. If the puppy suckles too hard, milk may enter the trachea; therefore, causing the puppy to develop pneumonia.

Just a question, …
Just a question, i’ve never owned a bulldog so bare with me. But why exactly do you have to tube feed him? Is it a common thing, or did that lttter lose their mother?
