Black Labrador Born With A Cleft Lip And Palate Can Finally Play

 

A lovely black lab named Felix resides in Alaska, USA. He has a large following on the social networking site Imgur, where his supporters have tracked his travels and have enjoyed watching the handsome furry man develop.

Felix’s father, Jamie, told Bored Panda that he had been taking care of Felix since he was 11 days old. When the breeder observed that one of her litter’s puppies was not growing and was dying due to severe cleft palate and cleft lip, and was unable to feed properly from her mother, they brought in a rescue worker.

The process of removing this hairy man was laborious.

“At the time, he had aspiration pneumonia and was not going to live another 24 hours,” Jamie continues. I brought him home, where I fed him for the following seven weeks via a feeding tube. I helped him treat his pneumonia as well. He is a black lab dog who is 14 months old.

Cleft lip and palate have an unknown cause. According to Jamie, a bad diet or prenatal exposure to particular substances can cause this aberration in both people and animals.

Felix is a fighter who doesn’t let his health issues keep him from having fun and enjoying life. In addition to having gastrointestinal issues, this Labrador has only one working eyeball, misaligned jaws, and intestines that originate on the other side of his body. He has a certain look on his face.

Since none of his teeth are in alignment, Jamie said, “He can only eat canned food.” I occasionally give him hard food to help him feel like a member of the gang, but he doesn’t enjoy it. Contrarily, he keeps him occupied.

In January of this year, Felix underwent surgery for cleft lip and palate. The dog has a unilateral cleft palate that affects both the soft and hard palates, according to his owner. The veterinarian did an excellent job, and he used his own tissue to repair his palate issues.

Felix was unable to regularly eat or drink before his operation. Every time he fed him, his father cleansed the food that came from his cleft.

Jamie said, “Since his surgery, he has developed a neurological tic that makes him to spin around and, on occasion, bark at the air, probably as a result of the dislocation of his head. To investigate if new drugs can benefit him, we are testing them.
