What is this?
She misses a few teeth and in the circle you can see a rare piece of bone that doesnt belong there. :?

I can't tell much from the picture, but if there is bone there I would seek vet care - I don't think anyone on here will be able to do much other than make guesses.

Please let us know what the vet says - I've never seen anything like that before. Good luck!

I have seen similar in trauma cases, but to me that jaw looks like it is bending inapropriately , may be a calcium issue. As katrina said a vet visit would be best. is the other side normal

Hi SD, does the piece wiggle at all if you carefully touch it, or is it firm in its place?

It wiggles.
So maybe the vet can remove it.
On the side where the issue is her jaws are not closing verry well , you can see a verry small opening.
The other side looks normal.
