princesszelda Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Our 1 1/2 year old Berner has been getting a wierd muscle spasm in her jaw lately. It happens after she cleans herself, and has been biting/niping her back legs or near her tail. Its like her jaw muscles get locked in that biting/niping activity...the only thing I can compare it to is when I used to do ballet, my foot would cramp from pointing so hard. She doesn't seem to be in any distress about it, and it goes away after about 10 seconds. Is this something we should be worried about? Anyone else seen anything like this?

Monah Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 (edited) I'm guessing as I have not seen her, but it sounds normal to me. My dogs and cats do a sort of 'jaw shudder', their mouth sort of vibrating? hard to explain isn't it? Lots of animals also do similar when they can smell others on heat etc. or when they smell whre other animals have been. love Berners!!! xxx Edited October 26, 2010 by Monah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princesszelda Posted October 26, 2010 Author Share Posted October 26, 2010 Thanks Monah! Funny you should mention heat...she's just finished her first heat last weekend. I wonder if that has something to do with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
