<p>Felix is a cute black lab that lives in Alaska, USA. He is well-known on the social media platform Imgur, where he has a big number of followers who have followed his trip and enjoy seeing the beautiful furry man evolve, writes embounce</p>
<p>“I’ve been caring for Felix since he was 11 days old,” Felix’s father, Jamie, told Bored Panda. I was the rescue worker called in by the breeder after they noticed that one of her litter’s puppies was not developing and was dying as a result of a severe cleft palate and cleft lip, and was unable to feed properly from her mother.”</p>

<p>“At the time, he had aspiration pneumonia and was not going to live another 24 hours,” Jamie adds. I took him home and fed him through a tube for the next seven weeks. I also assisted him in dealing with his pneumonia. He is 14 months old and a black lab dog!</p>

<p>The cause of cleft lip and palate is uncertain. According to Jamie, this aberration can occur in humans and animals as a result of a poor diet or prenatal exposure to specific items.</p>

<p>Felix is a fighter who refuses to let his medical challenges prevent him from enjoying himself and having a good time. This Labrador also has digestion problems since his intestines originated on the opposite side of his body; he only has one functional eyeball, and his jaws are misaligned. His face has a particular expression.</p>

I feed him hard food now and then to make him feel like he’s a part of the gang, but he doesn’t like it. He, on the other hand, keeps him busy ».</p>

<p>Felix had cleft lip and palate surgery in January of this year. According to his owner, the dog has a unilateral cleft palate that affects both the hard and soft palates. The veterinarian did a wonderful job, and he was able to reconstruct his palate problems using his own tissue.</p>

<p>Prior to his procedure, Felix was unable to eat or drink on a regular basis. His father washed the food from his cleft every time he fed him.</p>

We’re testing some new medications to see whether they can help him.”</p>
