Anyone have a pup survive cleft pallet
 

I posted on emergency but wanted to post on here to..i hope it's ok.
Heather is going to talk to her friend tomorrow to help me. But has anyone had a pup that survived a cleft pallet?

YES I HAVE I SENT YOU A PM with my number call me Im waiting to hear from you

YEAH!! YEAH!! Go Jessi! I am so happy!!!!!!! Now I can sleep peacefully! Thank God!

Does one of your pups have a cleft pallette? I must have missed that post. I am so sorry. I hope everything is okay and I'll pray for your puppy

Yeah, Bugaboo's mom can tell you. She raise him from when he was a puppy and he drinks out of a special water dispencer. :animal36

dogiluv and heather..you both are wonderful. I dont' know what I would of done without your support and help. I know alot are going to tell me to put him down without giving him and chance so i'm glad I have you two to give me hope and help..god bless you both

Best of luck to you and the pup!

I am glad you found someone to help you with your baby and I hope you did not think in your other post that I was telling you to put him down...I was not trying to convey that at all. I was was just letting you know what we had been thru with our pup...each case is different and we are hoping for a good outcome with this one! Keep us posted.

Honestly i'm just emotional right now..that's all it is. I know you weren't and thank you for reassuring me on that. It helps having support. I am so tired and so emotional right now it makes it really hard.
I know this is the hard part when it comes to breeding..this is what all the breeders have been warning about and talking about. And I'm trying to be strong because I want to breed and I want to be a good breeder.
He is still eating every hour to two hours and he is still using the bathroom. He nurses from the bottle good..he even kneads while he's doing it. I just need to get off this emotional roller coaster cause i'm not doing him or myself any good..but i'm soft hearted about things like this. I've always went for the underdog. Maybe cause I used to feel like one myself.

Yorkietalker Lilfoot has a cleft palate baby that has thrived and survived too. Hopefully she sees this post. I enjoyed reading the story about her litttle one.

Well, you are not an underdog here...you are a hero for what you are doing! Hats off to you. I guarantee if my little guy had not been so bad and his prognosis so hopeless, I would have done exactly what you are doing! If he is pooping, you know he is eating...and that is good. That is what you want. That is one battle you are winning right now. As long as he is able to get nutrition, he will thrive. You are doing a great job. A lot of your emotional roller coaster is lack of sleep...I can almost guarantee you that. As with a new human baby, you need to catch a little nap when he is sleeping...take care of yourself as well.

Hey girl! I hope this little guy is doing well this morning and you are able to get some sleep! Been prayin for ya!

Bugaboo Has!!!!!
 

I pm'd you. If not to severe (which the majority are not) I do not believe a cleft palate is a death sentence. I have helped many people with several other breeds raise their special needs babies and live happy normal lives!

So glad you are here Bugaboosmom I spoke to Christy at 12:00 a.m. this morning and I just reassured her that little Brody needs all the good vibes and love that she can offer. I hope to hear a good report from her sometime this a.m. she had planned to call her vet.

Hello
 

Well Brody's made it another full day. He is still eating and still full of energy ..well as full as a newborn can be..he is only 3 days old. He goes for the bottle like crazy. He is still going to the bathroom..that makes me feel alot better. I do wish he wasn't so skinny but i noticed this evening that he is starting to get a little round tummy..not much but it's a start. He loves to cuddle in my hand now..since i'm mommy when i'm holding him he sleeps after his bottle..the minute i put him down he is crawling everywhere wide awake. I wish you guys could see him. He is such a doll and so tiny. Tiny or not I bet he ends up top dog here lol..
I am hopelessly in love. I wanted to thank you all for keeping my spirits up. I have to say it's been hard. I am not one to cry (don't even like cry babies lol) but I have to say..i've broke down alot..and I have to agree with oscar..it's cause i'm so dang tired..it's been awhile since i've done the all night thing lol..now I know why I don't want anymore human babies lol..
Doing this I have a feeling will be one of the hardest things I have done cause I don't know the outcome..but regardless of whether he makes it or not at least I know I did all I could and god had other plans for him.
I called the vet and spoke to the older one..course he thought I should put him down. So monday I have a vet appt with the other vet.(he is the only one I will see) and I am hoping he will help me. I wish I could of talked to him on the phone but he isn't the one that does emergencies the other one does. So I hope like heck that he can eat from the bottle til monday so they can show me how to tube feed in case that has to be done.
I wanted to ask something though..my other mama tasha lets him nurse. I know he isn't getting anything from her but is it o.k. to let him do this? She only does this about 3 times a day..but he really enjoys it. So should I let him or not?
