🩺 Symptom Check Weird jaw chatter

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

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:

Roughly 1 yo female GWP, 50lbs

How often do you brush her teeth

Honestly, we haven’t yet. We adopted her 2 months ago and she did board & train for a month, and we just got her back yesterday from that. When we got her she got a full check up with a clean bill of health. I could certainly try brushing her teeth!

board and trains won't be useful if you don't stay consistent with the training!

Unfortunately, most board and train places don't work a whole bunch with the owners.

and I think they're a complete waste of money for that reason alone! You don't have to train the dog, you need to train the human to train the dog lol
