Tia Marie 4 Attachment(s) I know this thread is sooooo old but I always come back because I am just totally AMAZED at how my little special girl has beat the odds. She will be 2 this year!!!! In July! I remember my frantic self trying to get her to weigh 1 pound. She is my special angel. She can only drink from a water bottle and she eats hard food with treats too :) I would do this all over in a heart beat! I wanted to post a couple pics of her to share how well she is doing! Her mom Zoey still mothers her and they are inseperable. They love eachother so much!!!! 1. Giving her momma Zoey Mae kisses 2. Singing!!!!! 3. Hey! Whats in there! 4. I'm a pretty girl! |
There's that beautiful miracle baby. She is so pretty. I was just wondering how she was doing. Thanks for the update. |
Thanks for the update Breny....she is adorable, I dont post very often now but when this came in my inbox I had to come and check her out.:D It is great to see how she has beaten the odds, thanks to your dedication to her survival.:) |
I am so touched by your love. Your 2 yr. old furbaby is absolutely precious! Often it is those with imperfections that add the most to our lives. Many blessings to you. Joanne :aimeeyork :aimeeyork :aimeeyork :dog: |
congrats to you!! my cleft palate little boy was one in october and you really don't know he has it with all the hair etc and he is all boy!!! nothing fragile about him at all!!! |
Oh so cute I am so glad you posted an update. I think about her often too. She looks so good. |
Oh so cute! This was such an amazing post to read! I work as a speech pathologist with babies in the nursery and NICU with cleft lip +/- palate. We work with parents on how to compensate for all of these feeding issues in these babies! It's so interesting how the difficulties are SO similar between dogs and children! I will have to go back and take the time to read everything in this post! |

I learned later she only tube fed by day not at night.. I have gracie who is still alive, she did not have cleft pallet but only wanted to suckle for about a minute or two, then sleep 4 hours. so we tube fed her night and day for two weeks.. she then had the strength to suckle on her own and we kept her.. named her grace " for the grace of god she is still alive" I am glad you posted to me.. thanks.. pooh's mum |

I'm sorry you lost yours. :( I fed Tia round the clock every hour/24/7, until and gradually to every 2 hours. I fed as much as she would take. She definatley brightens my day EVERYDAY. You should see her happy face :) |
Video I just posted a video of little Tia last night. Her she is: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sho...30#post1700030 |
Did Tia ever have surgery to help with the cleft palate? Just curious as you say she still drinks her water from a bottle. She and Zoey are absolutely precious. We have a little spotted Chihuahua along with our three Yorkies. Chi's are defintely special. She's my husband's favorite and he's her favorite...that works out well all around. |

IF, and god forbid, her health became jepordized then I would do whatever it takes. But she eats good and drinks from a water bottler and she's happy as heck, so we are good :) She is very special!!!!!!!! |
Tia & Joker Hi there, Just found this forum and was wondering if there were any updates on Tia & Joker. I have a little Boston Terrier with cleft palate that I have been bottle feeding for 3 weeks now. Would love to hear if these two little ones made it. I think the last post was in 06. Thanks a bunch!

She is doing great! I didn't have the cleft fixed, she adjusted to it and drinks from a water bottle and eats hard kibble. |
Oh she is still a sweet heart. |
pictures? I have a strange request and would be extremely appreciative of any help. I am doing research on how people react to animal faces and want to look particularly at animals with cleft lip. I would like to use pictures of puppies, kittens, dogs and cats, preferbaly front on. I was wondering if anyone had any such images that they might be willing to allow me to use? I would be very grateful for any assistance. |
I really know nothing about this subject but just wondering why you couldn't feed them with the stomach tube? I'm not sure what its called but its a tiny tube that you hook on the end of a syringe and you would completely bypass the mouth and go straight to the tummy..Ever tried this? |
