[QUOTE="branguscowgirl, post: 1278180, member: 19938"] With a cleft palette there is a hole in the roof of their mouth that opens into their sinus. It should be pretty obvious if you feel or look up there. When they try to nurse they may not get a good suction, and you could sometimes see milk come out their nose. They will usually end up with aspiration pneumonia from getting milk in their lungs. You can google and see some pictures. I really don't know if that's your calfs problem, I am just trying to come up with some ideas for you to rule out. Hopefully some of the folks that raise a lot of bottle calves will chime in.
