My 7 week old puppy has an underbite so we have noticed. But today her jaw is inflamed and is causing her pain when I gently touch it. It also seems that her bottom lip is stuck to her gums.

Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sorry to hear about Brienne. Hard to say what is going on here without an examination. I would advise taking her to your vet for an exam after they gather the history. This could be pain, discomfort, infection, inflammation, anatomical problems, among other things. Once an exam is performed, a diagnostic/treatment plan can be discussed and implemented. Good luck
