Baby Gabby's Cleft Palate Video Baby Gabby, only 2.98 pounds and 10 months old, was born with multiple birth defects and surrendered to Rescue. Gabby had two surgeries to correct her cleft palate. Both of them failed, so here is her follow-up vet visit to see what the damage is and to determine her future course of treatment. Its not toooo graphic and is very interesting to Yorkie Lovers who care about Special Needs pups. |
Gabby is beautiful! Is there another surgery that they think will work? It is interesting what can be done now that was not possible to do before. Do you still have to tubefeed her? We had a member here who rescued a tiny little newborn Chi [20 hours old and only weighed 3 oz.]. It's amazing and a miracle that she lived and is now a little over 4 months old. Her first surgery is coming up. She is still being tubefed but is so healthy and feisty! I know her Mom loves to share and exchange information ... if you would like her email address, I would be glad to give it to you. God bless you for rescuing! :) |
We're looking at the possibility of an artificial implant to "bridge the gap". Her natural mouth is evidently too thin and frail to stand on its own. I would love to contact the little Chi's Mommy -- if only to offer my support. Its a scary process to sit by while your little one goes through major surgery and you can't make your puppy "all better" by yourself! Thanks for caring about Baby Gabby! |
How is Baby Gabby?? Sent you a PM. |
