Mitzi is nearly 8 months old and has had no other health problems. The vet didn't state what type it is,but I was told I wouldn't be able to breed with her (i wasnt going to breed anyway as she has an undershot jaw). I should have asked more but I was in shock. I will get more in fo next week, i hope its not a serious form!!!!
