: Any possibility of handling trauma to neck or jaw while undergoing treatment for the pneumonia? This sounds like a possible trauma to me, from the behavior. Worth checking, anyway.

Thanks, andy. I do not beleive any trauma is involved, we gave I.M inj. into the front legs, no oral tx was involved. He was radiographed, 2 differrent veiws, when he was diagnosed with pneumonia and we did not see any bone abnormalities/broken bones at that time. Of course, he came from very crowded conditions so god only knows what happened before I got him. If it is a muscle trauma of some sort, what do you reccommend? or will it heal itself over time?
