As you go through this process, if it were me - I'd always be asking myself - on a scale of 1-10, what is the quality of life this little baby seems to be experiencing? I do truly hope you can save her - but please remember that her quality of life is at your mercy, at this point. I know how badly you want to save her, and right now - I want that for you too. I hope it can be done. Also - did you see the STICKY in the Emergency forum for help w/ vet bills?

My heart goes out to her.
I cannot see how a cleft pallet will decrease the puppy's quality of life. She is just an infant. when she is old enough, it will not stop her from being able to run and play like any other dog.
