 Surgery?
This is only my opinion.
SInce your puppy has done so well in their condition, Im not so sure they need surgery. Most die. The Cleft puppy I raised needed help from the get go. He would have died the first days. Trying to eat for him was like sucking fluid thru a straw with lots of holes. He had no suction.
Cleft babies dont do real well with soft foods. If you have raised a puppy this far, switch to hard food. Offer it by hand, if they wont eat it..............well then offer them pieces of whole foods...........such as deli ham, cheese, big pieces of egg. Soft mushy food gets in their sinuses and makes them deathly sick.
........Make your puppy a milk shake.........A tsp or two of Honey and dog puppy formula mixed with water in a small bowl. They will drink this at their own rate and ability if they are hungry, and have a will to live. They adapt. Its amazing how they adapt. It is amazing how speical these dogs are.
This worked for my puppy. He is 6 months old. What a Scamp!!!!
I hope it works for your special puppy too. Good Luck! |
