I am so sorry to hear about Willow. Brandi like Willow was in the same identical situation when I acquire her at 7 yrs old. She had to had 25 teeth pulled and just this past October she had her remaining 4 teeth pulled.

While Brandi didn't have any issues with her jaw, she certainly has had other issues with her health which I believe to be a direct result of her being bred so much. She was so neglected, I practically cried the first time I took her to the vet. She has had ongoing issues from the moment I got her. She will be 12 in July and for the most part she is healthy except for a lingering uti issue that the vet can not diagnose. If this last round of anti-biotics does not work, she will have to go to a specialist.

I know Willow will be okay because she has somebody who geninuely cares for her. Just be sure to promise her (like I did with Brandi) that she will live the life of a diva. On the plus side, Brandi's little tongue is always sticking out because she doesn't have any teeth.
