Mr Hotwing paid a visit to the Lehigh Valley Veterinary Dermatology clinic last week when his owner noticed he couldn’t breathe or eat properly.

The goldfish was born without a lower jaw bone so the vet had no choice but to give him a teeny tiny brace.

The wrote:

Fish Braces!!?? Mr. Hot Wing came in today for trouble breathing and inability to eat. He was born without a lower jaw bone and his mouth could not stay open. Brian Palmeiro did surgery to open his mouth and created this brace to help his mouth stay open.

We haven’t seen this much cute since a goldfish got a wheelchair.

The braces were made from a small bit of credit card and cost an estimated €134.

Let’s home the kids in school aren’t mean.
