Hey guys, someone posted exactly the same issue 6 yrs ago but no one knew what was causing this. My fingers are crossed there has been some advances in testing since.
Monkey is a rescue, about 4-6 yrs old. He started these jaw shaking episodes a few months ago. Sometimes itās mild and sometimes itās much worse where I can hear it from across the house. It is not the same as the head tremors seen in his bread. It typically happens when he is inside and relaxed or sleepy. Itās never happened outside or while we are playing.
I will post a link to the YouTube video of the mild version. I have yet to capture a heavy episode.
I have read and researched and took him to the vet for blood work and everything is normal.
He doesnāt appear to be in pain and can be distracted out of it for the most part. It only lasts for about 30 seconds to 1 min.
Our vet doesnāt seem concerned or interested in figuring it out. We have a little extra hurdle with this guy as he is a rescue with extreme fear of other people. The only way he is able to go see a vet is sedated and with a mussel so diagnosis is very limited. My husband and I are the only 2 he will tolerate being around. Yes, we have tried training and therapy.
Here is the video link. Please please let me know if you have seen this or know what is causing it! This guy has had a hard life and we just want to give him the best for the rest of it. I donāt know if this could relate in anyway but he had both knees repaired in the past 2 years.
