Cleft palate is a congenital disability that occurs when a hole forms in the roof of a puppy's mouth during gestation. This condition is often linked to a specific genetic mutation known as CP1. The mutation affects the proper development of the palate, leading to difficulties in feeding and a heightened risk of serious conditions like aspiration pneumonia.
