 Overbite
Hi, I am Squishy's Mom. She is 10 weeks old, weighs 2lbs 8 oz She has been the perfect girl!!!! Today I took her to the vet and he said she has a severe overbite. He called it Parrot mouth!!! I was devistated! I live in a small community near Mt. Rainier in Washington State (our Vet is a Horse Vet) He said she was defective and we should not breed her. I paid quite a bit for her and did plan on breeding her, I did some research and could not find any info regarding "parrot mouth" except on equine sites. Then I started looking up overbite in Yorkies and found this message site. Everthing I have read so far says it is normal and can correct it self.....My husband measured it and it is about a 1/4 inch overbite....Is this something that should have been caught when her tail was docked, at her first Vet visit???? Should the breeder have told me? Was I scammed? Please share any info you might have, good bad or otherwise so we can prepare ourselves for what may be coming. Thanks so much! Squishy's Mom |
