Do you know my vet said all animals produce clefts in about 2% of the off spring. Some are stillborn, others died right after birth, some linger and a few can be corrected...JMO..and best wishes
thats really interesting...2%. gosh. i didn't know that. ok, question, when you have one with a cleft, when do you have it put down. that same day? tell me more about this. thanks...
