Last pup was given to the vets wife at birth..she worked hard and got it to 2 weeks...and it faded and died.
I think all pups deserve a chance and if I had a decent size born with a cleft I would give to a good try.
I have repeated the breeding and not had it again..but I agree, I would charge studs if possible. You see, I freaked out at the first one...I told my vet I had to place my stud because of the cleft he produced with my female..he show me a book on genetics and it said 2% of mammals produce clefts in offspring. So I repeated the breeding several times with that male to that female and the females sisters..no clefts.
There was one year I had several breeder friends and myself all have cleft pups in our litters...and none were related..all within a few weeks...so very strange.

I agree We had three litters of Pitt bulls the third litter the runt had a cleft. we worked on it too. It lasted about three weeks then died. It was so sad.

I posted on the other thread you started. I wish the best for you and this little pup but personally, I wouldn't keep my hopes up. Sometimes, it's for the best.

We will be keeping this pup if she makes it...I can't see anyone else giving her the care that I can..( I've grown quite attached to the little misfit) I don't even let my husband feed her...currently she is at 8 oz so she is thriving...the main thing I worry about now is her getting sick from fluid in her lungs....plus our family has all had colds .....thank you for all the responses and advice!!!!!

The artical on cleft was awesome...thank you so much...Yes my little pup has a hair lip and a partial cleft.....it is missing a small portion by the gum line...the only time I see milk coming out of the nose is if she chokes.....she is feeding so much better now that is gives me some hope although she does have her moments...like she will start chivering, don't know if it is because she lost body heat to fast or is something else is going on....but she is very active and is gaining weight every day and improving on her eating habits....she takes about 1 tablespoon (sometimes less) about every three hours....it has helped to burp her ...because of the cleft lip she doesn't have the suction, she can't wrap her lips around the bottle....I have tried to syringe feed her but it seems to make her choke and gulp more air so I have gone back to the bottle...I do have to sqeeze the bottle to make the milk flow so it has been trial and error on the right pressure of the bottle so she doesn't choke....I just want to say thanks for all the concern and advice. I am so glad I found this web site, it has been sooooo helpful....thank you to everyone for all your comments and concern.....now I need a name for this little one....something that fits her to a T...any help with this????

Just a quick note....my little one is up to 9 oz this morning.....on th ename thing...my husband wants to name her "lippy" I told him he needs to work on his sense of humor....I am thinking...."Tory" which means <winner> or Matty which means <strong fighter> or Ajani which means <he who wins the struggle >"anni" for a nickname any thoughts on these...

lilfoot · 09-30-2005, 06:21 AM

We have decided on a name for our little one....Elizabeth Myeisha KT...elizabeth stands for "Consecrated by God" and Myeisha means "One who is loved greatly".....KT is for my kids Kelsey and Trevor. Her eyes also opened up yesterday...She sure is a cutie...will be posting pictures hopefully soon...as soon as we can figure it out...Should I be worried now that her brother weighs..1lb 5oz He weighed 6oz at birth.....her sister weighs 1lb3oz...she weighed 5 oz at birth..
