Can they use a tiny non-needle syringe to get past the cleft and force some food (they'll have to make a formula for her) into her? There are folks on here with WAY more experience in clefts than me - hopefully they'll chime in soon...

My Tiny Treasures Donating Member | Hey Tammy, I raised a cleft palet Chi and she was 2 in July. her cleft was in the soft pallet and I went out and bought a premi nipple (for a human) and I bottle fed her that way. I also alternated with a syringe with the needle taken off. I used a formula that I made myself that has more calories per CC than normal store bought. I did not tube feed and I do not have experience in it as it scares the crap out of me, so I did what I could with the bottle. It was a LONG road. I have not had her repaired. She now has adjusted and drinks from a bottle and only eats kibble. Here is the recipe I raised her on for 4 months: ( I used evaporated Milk) Bottle Feeding Recipe 11 Calories per CC 1. 10 oz. of canned evaporated milk or goat’s milk (not pasteurized cow’s milk - this will cause scowers - dogs cannot drink normal cow’s milk) 2. 3 oz. sterilized water (baby water or boiled water) this is not needed if using goat’s milk 3. 1 raw egg yolk 4. 1 tablespoon regular mayonnaise (optional) 5. 1 cup of whole yogurt (avoid skim or fat free) 6. 1/2 Tsp Karo Syrup or Corn Syrup (NOT HONEY !!!) Place ingredients in a blender and blend or use a wire whisk. Be careful to not over blend and create a milk shake full of bubbles . I will help anyway I can!!!! |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Oh, gosh I hope this baby makes it. Tell her also to take a towel - put it in the microwave, warm it up. Make sure it's not too hot when she takes it out, wrap him up in it.
