At Robyn’s Nest Mini Goldens, we believe every puppy deserves a chance to thrive, no matter the challenges they face. Today, we want to share the inspiring story of Kings, our brave little puppy with a cleft palate, and the extra care he has needed to grow strong and healthy. 🐾👑

Foster Care and Nutrition

From the moment we welcomed Kings into our lives, we knew he would need special care. We chose to place him in foster care to ensure he received the constant attention and love he needed. For his nutrition, we opted for goat milk formula, which is easier on his tummy and more digestible. This has been a game-changer in keeping his digestive system happy and healthy. 🍼🐐

Feeding Techniques

Feeding a cleft palate puppy requires specific tools and techniques. We utilized tube feeding supplies and a special bottle with a soft spot that allows his jaw to work out the formula. This method has been essential in providing him with the nutrients he needs without causing discomfort or difficulty.

Thriving and Growing

We are thrilled to share that Kings is thriving and doing well! He has started to eat soft food, though we continue bottle feeding to ensure he gets enough fluids. His superficial cleft palate does not affect his nasal cavities, mouth structure, or tongue, which has been a relief. However, transitioning to moist food has been a bit of a struggle, as food can get stuck due to his cleft palate. Despite these challenges, Kings is growing and thriving in the best way possible, now weighing a mighty 3 pounds! 🌟🐾

Medical Care and Support

Anytime you have a puppy with special needs like Kings, it’s crucial to work closely with your preferred vet. Kings had aspirated milk or puppy mush at some point, leading to a course of steroids and antibiotics. We are happy to report that he did not require any breathing treatments and has made a remarkable recovery.

Essential Supplies

King’s journey has taught us the importance of having essential supplies on hand when caring for a litter of puppies. You never know if all puppies will be able to nurse, so having tube feeding supplies, special bottles, and goat milk formula ready is vital.

Conclusion

King’s story is a testament to the resilience and strength of our furry friends. With the right care, love, and support, even the smallest and most vulnerable puppies can grow and thrive. We are incredibly proud of King’s progress and will continue to provide him with the best care possible.

Thank you for following King’s journey with us. Stay tuned for more updates on his growth and development! 🐶❤️
