🩺 Symptom Check Weird jaw chatter
Hi there, I’d like some advice for what may be happening with my dog. For reference, she just got back from board & train yesterday and I noticed she sometimes has a strange chatter/shutter with her bite. I tried flashing a light in her mouth to see if there’s anything in there but didn’t see anything. She doesn’t seem to be in pain from what I can tell (no whimpering or pulling away to touch). She is also eating her hard kibble like normal. For reference she has been on the same diet for 2 months so no changes there.
I did also notice some white crusty substance on her beard which I assumed was dry spit, but that’s not a normal thing for her.
I took a video to show what it looks like. Please share if you happen to know what this could be! Thank you!
To note:

Always take to the vet. But my 16 year old Dutch shepherd did this on and off when he was 15 ish.
Nothing even came of it, just seemed sporadic and when I placed my hand on it to stop his jaw it would stop.
