Me and my girlfriend are wanting to adopt this puppy, but I have some concerns
This dog is totally adorable and we’re going to meet her tomorrow, but I need to be realistic and know if I can actually handle any potential medical issues that could come up. The dog has a slightly smaller right eye and jaw than the left. The organization that is trying to place her says there isn’t an official diagnosis, she just was born with a bit of a facial deformity. They say she has no problems with eating or getting around or seeing, but I worry about the deformity causing health issues relatively early in life. Especially the jaw if she does start having trouble eating. Has anyone seen something like this? Or have experience caring for a dog with a slight facial deformity like this? Is it likely she won’t require any more specialized care than any other dog? We have other pets and pet insurance and plan to add her to it, but we also have kids who would be completely heart broken to lose a young dog. She’s adorable and we’d love to have her, I just want a little insight before jumping in blind.
