Bronson was part of nine puppies born by caesarean section and was a chocolate Labrador. But when his owners realized he had a cleft palate, they decided to put him down. Although the prognosis for puppies with cleft palates is not good, one animal technician was determined to give him a second chance at life.
He wrote on Imgur: ,,Knowing how stupid I was, another vet convinced the family to give up the dog and let me treat the puppy.”
The user, who goes by the name Kaffekalle, also explains why puppies are being put down for a seemingly minor mistake. Depending on the size of the cleft and whether the hard or soft palate is affected, puppies often fail to develop. Because of the cleft palate, they cannot suck properly and eventually pass away from malnutrition.
For a week she took him to work and fed him through a stomach tube every two hours. The vet had to adopt Bronson because he was sure he would survive.
We can’t blame him, because he is really nice!
