puppy info needed

[CHEZ2177]

hi my bulldog had a litter of pups but refused to nurse so we stepped in and bottle fed litter all pups are doing great but 1 puppy who is now 3 and half weeks,every time he feeds milk or now mush is comeing from her nose, i have been to see my vet who said theres nothing to worry about and give him an anibiotic shot incase he had an infection. Im still worried tho. He isnt being over fed as this happens as soon as he takes is feed so he doent get as much as other puppys. can anyone help by giving me an explanation to why this is happeng? thanx in advance.

I'm betting he has a cleft palate as well.  In brachycephalic breeds like bulldogs cleft palates are even more common than in other breeds.  They CAN be repaired surgically.  I am really surprised that your vet didn't check for this or even mention it as a possibility.

This is important. You need to speak to your vet again, and/or get a second opinion -and quickly.
It sounds as if your puppy may have a cleft palate.
It needs immediate attention as not only can the pup not feed properly and may starve, but is at risk of complications such as Aspiration Pneumonia.
If it IS this condition, you will have to carefully nurse and tube feed her for a few weeks, until she is strong and fit enough for corrective surgery.
