 Sad update
I've been dreading posting this thread. I went to the vet yesterday & they said that he did actually have a very severe cleft pallate along with the cleft lip. They said his chances were poor & they recommended to put him down. I know that I probably could have tried the tube feeding & he may have made it, but I was so afraid to have him be in pain for my selfish reasons of wanting to keep him around; so I decided to do what I thought was best & put him down. I cried like a baby at the vet's & all last night & today. At least know I know I don't have it in me to be a breeder. It was so heart breaking & I was so hopeful that it was just the lip or at least a minor cleft pallat. Sorry to those hoping I would have nursed im through it. I just hope I did the right thing.... :-( Thanks for all the help! |
