ATB ob. You’ve already given yourself the best advice, getting it checked at the vets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
THE DEALER! 77 Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 the problem more than lightly is at the hinge joint in the dogs mouth, heard of this happening in humans as well, it is solved by massage in humans, dogs sort out the problem them selfs, can effect the dogs hinge joint when he gets older, be interested to hear what your vet has to say on the matter.

shepp 2,285 Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 I get a pain in my jaw sometimes when I yawn, been like it all my life. No doubt the vet will lift a few quid off you for x-ray etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
obby 10 Posted July 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 NO Xray but a consultation fee to be told more or less the same as what dealers said and to keep an eye on it and should the problem continue then they'll think about an xray to see whats going on i was probably abit over paraniod but i'd much rava be safe than sorry thanks for the input,ob.

I've had it years ago Tim, caused by chewing my nails when younger, you push your bottom jaw forward to do it. Ended up locking at times and painfull with it! I got physio as you rightly said and it worked Quote Link to post Share on other sites
