Overshot JawHas anyone ever had a cat with an overshot jaw? If so, did you encounter any problems, or did your cat manage everything ok?

Sorry, no experience with this; hope someone will be along who does. |

Kizzy does have a wee bit of an overshoot, but manages just fine and tbh I don't notice it, but it was brought to my attention by CP before I took her. The vet has never commented on it either, so I suspect it must be by a very small amount. |

No, only thing I would check is that the lower incisors are not digging into the roof of the mouth. My friends dog had this and vet had to remove some of the tooth. |

He does have quite a large gap....the only problem he has is with taking treats from our fingers/hand! The gap is larger than 1/2 cm (thats half a centimetre!) |

That is quite a gap for a small mouth. Bracken I reckon would be at least 2cm - but she is an Otterhound. |
