Poppet was born with a deformed jaw, preventing her from eating properly for years. Fortunately, a veterinarian lent her a helping hand. He proposed a modern solution.
According to the Metro newspaper, Poppet’s lower jaw malformation is the result of inbreeding. She was too small to hold back her tongue, which was hanging out all the time. For 8 years, the female Shih Tzu encountered difficulties in feeding and grooming.
