Her surgeon says we can start talking about a very thin pureed wet puppy food via a larger tube soon.... she has her 1st vaccination on Sunday so I think she's planning on starting her on the larger tube w/ "food" shortly thereafter.
The first surgery did in fact, keep the soft palate in tact.... so that is doing very well..... the hard palate "looks" larger, but is really just widening with the normal growth of her mouth.
Here are pictures of the cleft today.... |
Wow, Dena!
Her mouth looks GREAT!
I'm so glad she is as strong as she is.
Speaking of strong, Z went in today to be neutered.
I'm a little nervous about anesthesia, but I trust Dr. Tim.
I started a thread today because I wasn't sure whether we should, but we went with it.
