Thank you so much for sharing this story. My daughter's dog Chance had a soft palate defect (cleft) which we have not had repaired. According to the surgeon we consulted it would require at least 3 surgeries and has only a 50% chance of success. He will be 2 in November. He has had aspiration pneumonia once and one sinus infection but is doing very well so far. Please keep us updated in the next few months and let everyone know if the surgery has held |
