Jaw problems are a common symptom of MBD. If they have a good vet there, they probably already know this. My ig had a swollen lower jaw from MBD, but with a good diet and proper UVB light (along with prescription calcium supplements for awhile), his jaw has gone back to normal. But a jaw that's really swollen can make it hard for an ig to eat, so you may need to take special care to see they're eating okay.
