No chin!

[borzoimom]

yes on the old Animal Planet show called Emergency Vets.

I agree- they took part of a rib, and made a jaw bone.

Wow, I'd never heard of that

how does it manage to eat?

I was wondering this too...

I've never heard of that either! I would love to learn more about this defect though. Is it his entire bottom jaw area that's missing, so he has only his top teeth? Or is half of his bottom jaw missing or what? If so, how does he eat? Well, prayers are being sent for the little guy!

I've never seen or heard of a dog being born with no chin; though I have heard of dogs being born with extremely overshot jaws. They aren't able to nurse and would have to be tube fed in order to survive.

In all probability, this pup will develop other genetic problems too. What does your vet have to say about it?

I remember the rib bone part. I think he just lapped up purre meat with his tongue.
