Hello everyone! I had a question regarding my new baby, Maximus. He is 8 weeks old and I am worried about him a little. I have been told his "condition" is normal and he will grow out of it but I would really enjoy hear opinions of people that aren't trying to get more money from me! Anyway his lower jaw is about 1/4 of an inch shorter than his upper jaw. This concerns me because his teeth don't meet and he struggles to eat hard food because of it. So is anyone has experience in this or has heard of it before or really just wants to dazzle me with their chihuahua knowledge and can clue me in on the outcome i would love some help. Maximus and I thank you very much!!

here's a link to a thread here talking about overbite.

My one chi mix has an underbite and has learned to eat with it.

Also my mom's papillon has a bottom jaw that is sideways...so the one side of his mough doesnt even touch eachother. He eats very slow but he does get all of his food.

Sorry that I couldnt be more helpful.
