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! |
