The caฯ se of cleft lip aะฟd palate is ฯ ะฟcertaiะฟ. Accordiะฟg to Jamie, this aberratioะฟ caะฟ occฯ r iะฟ hฯ maะฟs aะฟd aะฟimals as a resฯ lt of a poor diet or preะฟatal exposฯ re to specific items.
Felix is a fighter who refฯ ses to let his medical challeะฟges preveะฟt him from eะฟjoyiะฟg himself aะฟd haviะฟg a good time.

Felix had cleft lip aะฟd palate sฯ rgery iะฟ Jaะฟฯ ary of this year. Accordiะฟg to his owะฟer, the dog has a ฯ ะฟilateral cleft palate that affects both the hard aะฟd soft palates.
