Hello, sorry to hear about Lele. That is technically not a cleft palate and more so a fracture of her hard palate. It may heal on its own, however, this should be a recommendation made by your veterinarian after they examine Lele. She may need a CT scan to fully evaluate the extent of the damages within her mouth and head. I would recommend having her evaluated immediately by your veterinarian or a surgery team to determine if Lele needs any surgical procedure to stabilize her injuries. Hope this helps and best of luck.
