Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. It appears as though the skin has been detached from the lower jaw from an injury of some sort. I would recommend having a veterinarian look at this for the most appropriate treatment. She will likely need to be sedated and have stitches placed in this area to help reattach the skin to the jaw.
