 cleft pallatte
I have a 12 day old female yorkie and she has a partial cleft pallatte and a cleft lip....the vets told me they see know reason she won't do all right but boy it has been a struggle to get her to bottle feed because of no enough suction due to the lip being split. when she was born she was 5 oz then dropped to 3 oz due to not being able to nurse so we started to bottle feed her in which she get lots of air in her tummy so I started to burp her and that has helped. Today she is 71/2 oz so she is gaining (her brother is 1.1lbs and her sister is 14oz) any advice on this matter would be great.... |
