Question
I just noticed my 3 year old boston has a soft palate.....I mean, the roof of her mouth closest to her teeth i can press, it feels like no bone there...and the back is harder.  Is this normal?

Answer
Hi Heather, Next time you see the vet bring this up.  I know the back of the palate is very soft.
As for near the teeth, I am unsure about this.  You can also go to our Breeding and Whelping section, here at allexperts.com, they may be able to answer this question.
Look under DOGS:  breeding and whelping experts.
