Staffy puppy born with a cleft lip handed in to ManxSPCA at five days old

The ManxSPCA has started fundraising to help a six-week-old Staffordshire terrier who was born was a cleft lip and palate. 

Harry was given up to the organisation at five days old weighing in at only 220g. 

At that time the only nutrition the pup could get into his system was milk through suckling on a bottle.

Since he arrived at the animal charity four members of staff have taken turns taking him home and bottle feeding him every two hours. 

Harry's mouth was first operated on two weeks ago but his stitches ripped resulting in him needing a second operation.

This has been planned for two weeks' time. 

​Krysia Boruch, Graih Sloane, Lili Johnson and Emma Hartmann have been caring for him:
