A black Labrador, born with a cleft lip and palate, has overcome adversity to enjoy playtime like any other dog. Despite the challenges he faced, this resilient pup never let his condition hold him back. With the help of his loving owner, he underwent surgery to correct his cleft lip and palate.

After a successful recovery, he now plays with other dogs and enjoys every moment of it. This heartwarming story serves as an inspiration to all, reminding us that with determination and support, we can overcome any obstacle.

โ€œAt the time, he had aspiration pneumonia and was not going to live another 24 hours,โ€ Jamie adds. I took him home and fed him through a tube for the next seven weeks. I also assisted him in dealing with his pneumonia. He is 14 months old and a black lab dog!

The cause of cleft lip and palate is uncertain. According to Jamie, this aberration can occur in humans and animals as a result of a poor diet or prenatal exposure to specific items.

Felix is a fighter who refuses to let his medical challenges prevent him from enjoying himself and having a good time. This Labrador also has digestion problems since his intestines originated on the opposite side of his body; he only has one functional eyeball, and his jaws are misaligned. His face has a particular expression.

โ€œHe can only eat canned food since none of his teeth match,โ€ Jamie added. I feed him hard food now and then to make him feel like heโ€™s a part of the gang, but he doesnโ€™t like it. He, on the other hand, keeps him busy

Felix had cleft lip and palate surgery in January of this year. According to his owner, the dog has a unilateral cleft palate that affects both the hard and soft palates. The veterinarian did a wonderful job, and he was able to reconstruct his palate problems using his own tissue.

Prior to his procedure, Felix was unable to eat or drink on a regular basis. His father washed the food from his cleft every time he fed him.

โ€œSince his procedure, he has acquired a neurological tic that causes him to spin around and occasionally bark at the air, most likely due to the dislocation of his head,โ€ Jamie explained. Weโ€™re testing some new medications to see whether they can help him.โ€
