Our sweet little puppy Cosmo was born tiny and weighed less than half of the other puppies. We discovered that he had a cleft palate which meant he couldn’t latch on to nurse from his mom. We tried for day to feed him with a syringe. We couldn't get him to gain weight, only maintain his birthweight for the first four days. Then by the 5th day he had lost weight and took a turn for the worst. He died later that day as I was holding him. He was a sweet little pup that left his tiny paw prints on my heart. He’s gone, but not forgotten.
