Jaw not opening

12-12-2007, 06:21 PM #1 (**permalink**)

Hello, Newbie here !I have a issue with my Boston cross (jack russell) not being able to open her jaw all the way. currently it opens enough for her to eat small kibble food. besides that she is healthy.About once a month she will start this drooling issue for about 2-3 days and it smeels then it goes away.
Has anyone herd of this issue? My vet seems stumped. Small town.

Please take your puppy to see a Veterinarian A.S.A.P.

I am happy to say the her jaw condition has almost cleared up 100 % on it's own. there is no drooling,she now growels,barks and loves eating.She plays with chew toys and tug o war.
