it could be a congenital or genetic defect or the result of accident or injury......does she feed ok? if you open her mouth is there anything unusual inside eg. mucous?

How long have you had her for? Is it something that you have noticed suddenly or something that has got progressively worse?

no mucus her mouth looks clear, she is otherwise fine, bright and alert. Had her for 5 months and never had before, my local rep shop said wait for her shed and if still bad take her to vet, will try and feed tomorrow x
