This goldfish is getting braces to help sort out his mouth problems


A tiny goldfish has become the first of his kind to be fitted with braces to help sort out a problem with his mouth. Adorable Mr Hot Wing was born without a lower jaw bone and has been struggling with breathing. In order to help his mouth stay open, vet Brian Palmeiro fashioned an apparatus which looks like a little brace. The incredibly small apparatus will also help Mr Hot Wing to eat without problems. Lehigh Valley Veterinary Dermatology posted the image of a happy-looking Mr Hot Wing on their Facebook account explaining the surgery.
