Re: images of puppies/dogs with cleft lip

Yes we must be,
The article I read suggested surgery was done before birth,
In the uk there are only 9 Regional centres for cleft lip and palate,none of these when checking their websites routinely offer Cleft Lip Repair within days after birth.

Those figures you have quoted are a relatively small number,compared with the amount of children born with cleft palates and lips each year.Are the figures from the uk ?

It took quite a while for our son to be referred and to my knowlege B'ham have a routine whereby cleft lips are repaired at around 3 months the same as the centers in the rest of the uk.

Anyway this has gone way off topic,sorry I can't help with images...
I know of a few Breeders whose pups have had clefts,they sadly didn't survive.
