My dog's jaw is broken. Can a vet fix it? What are the options?

Question

My dog has a broken jaw, and I was wondering is it possible for her to get it repaired? We let her out to use the bathroom and she wondered off but when she came back her jaw was hanging and missing teeth. Pet's info: Dog | Miniature Poodle | Female | spayed | 15 lbs

Your dog needs to be evaluated by a veterinarian as soon as possible. A broken jaw is very painful and the vet will be able to determine the extent of her injuries by taking X-rays and appropriate course of action. It is possible that surgery could fix it. It is very important that Lacey be seen and get her started on painkillers to keep her comfortable (as prescribed by your vet)
