Cleft Pallet in the throat

Question
What are the symptoms of a 5 wk old puppy with a cleft pallet in the throat?

Answer
I think you're referring to an elongated soft palate. If the puppy had a cleft palate it would be dead by now.

Tell me what symptoms the puppy is experiencing. If it's choking and gaging, chances are it's full of round worms and needs to be wormed immediately.
