Ouch poor baby! I read this thread this morning for updates and it breaks my heart to know that she is struggling so much with this. I see what you mean about the not being enough skin to keep stitching up
I hope they come up with a solution soon. I know her palate is intact which is great. Maybe they might have to let the lip heal like this until she is bigger and has more growth around her lip area that they can attempt it again. I don't see how they would keep restitching I know the vets know when to stop and when they feel that they can proceed. I'm still very happy to know that she is continue to gain slowly.

I wouldnt try the NewSkin glue either. Here's what I found on that skin glue:

The adhesive is similar to crazy glue and some other skin adhesives used in Canada and Europe, but, according to Quinn, it is stronger, more flexible and less toxic. It works by simply squeezing the wound together and applying the glue on top, essentially forming a bridge. It can be used practically anywhere on the body except the hands, feet and around mucous membranes such as the lips. The glue does not have to be removed; it simply wears away as skin cells are sloughed off

I'm praying that she can get relief from her mouth.
