Re: Deformed jaw/teeth
I can't tell much from the picture, but if there is bone there I would seek vet care - I don't think anyone on here will be able to do much other than make guesses.
Please let us know what the vet says - I've never seen anything like that before. Good luck!

Re: Deformed jaw/teeth
I have seen similar in trauma cases, but to me that jaw looks like it is bending inapropriately , may be a calcium issue. As katrina said a vet visit would be best. is the other side normal

Re: Deformed jaw/teeth
Hi SD, does the piece wiggle at all if you carefully touch it, or is it firm in its place?

Re: Deformed jaw/teeth
It wiggles.
So maybe the vet can remove it.
On the side where the issue is her jaws are not closing verry well , you can see a verry small opening.
The other side looks normal.
