Informative video. I would like to say that a cleft puppy can be raised also on a bottle. It takes a good nipple, that has a slow drip when tilted. The pup "chews" rather than sucks and it takes some time to feed but I have raised one cleft pup and am currently feeding another using a bottle. The old school thinking that all cleft puppies should be destroyed at birth is just not true. It takes dedication but the results are worth the time.

I never realized how much work it is to feed newborn puppies. Good work!
What are the pros and cons of hand feeding them like this versus them feeding directly from the mother?

@R3dRum69 .. the tube feeding was implemented because of the pup with the cleft palate... if done correctly the pup will live, but if feed ends up in the lungs, the pup will die. Another pro... It ensures the pups are actually receiving enough feed. When the mother is dried, this will also help. I do not recommend this approach unless your vet goes over the procedure with you, it is very risky; however, so is bottle feeding if the nipples release too much fluid.

I wish the bottle-feeding was 100% safe. If the flow of milk is not correct, the pup may end up with fluid in its lungs and die. I would not recommend tube feeding to anyone unless your vet or an experienced person walks you through the process. My wife never tried tube feeding the pups because she like many is afraid of the process. This process is somewhat similar to feeding newborn macaws. Years ago, I hand raised three macaws and used a syringe to administer the formula.
