Do boxers have lock jaws?
Hi there, I own an American Staffordshire Terrier, very powerful
dog including the jaw. My best friend owns a boxer and we had this
exact discussion between ourselves about 2 years ago. We exhausted
every avenue of "lock-jaw". Read every thing we could find about
lock jaw and asked numerous Vets. They all had the same
answer......No dog on this earth has "lock-jaw". The only case of a
dog having lock-jaw was a dog with tetanus lock-jaw, it is very
rare that a dog gets this type of disease , that is the only type
of lock-jaw a dog may get. It's a medical condition , nothing to do
with the actual "lock-jaw" I hope this answered your
question...there is no such thing as a dog with "lock-jaw". Its a
myth. Check out this site, its the one we found to be most
creditable and he confirmed the "lock-jaw" myth
