I just noticed that my JR has a "split" between her top front teeth. Seems as though her teeth are shifting outward, her canines are angled more outward. There also seems to be a cavity leading upward to her nose. Could this be a cleft palate that is just appearing? She doesn't seem to be in any pain and still has an appetite. Any ideas? Has anyone ever seen this happen before?

Cleft palate usually presents at birth, not 6 years of age. Probably best to get the vet to check it out, in case it is something serious, then you can catch it early.
Reply:I would strongly urge you to contact your vet ASAP and have xrays taken.
It could be anything from an injury to cancer. A cleft palate would be present at birth.
