My hingeback appears to have a tear/cut near his jaw. It’s also affecting how he eats. I’m going to take him to the vet as soon as I can so it doesn’t get infected but I wanted to get your opinion. IMG_6618.jpgIMG_1519739238.273261.jpgIMG_1519739268.518201.jpgIMG_1519739286.359079.jpg

Put a little Vaseline on it to keep it soft.

It's never a bad idea to get a vet's opinion.
