Mani’s Jaw Is Locked. We’re Determined to Unlock the Mystery. 💔

When Mani arrived in the care of Baw Baw, something was immediately wrong: he was unable to open his mouth, with his jaws appearing completely locked.

A Canine Distemper antigen test was performed, and thankfully, the result was negative. But that left one important question unanswered: why can’t Mani open his mouth?

Right now, his medical team doesn’t yet know the underlying cause. Mani is being kept under close observation while veterinarians continue monitoring his condition and determining what diagnostic testing may be needed to uncover the answer.

For Mani, every day is about watching closely, learning more, and making sure he gets the care he needs as his condition progresses. ❤️‍🩹

We don’t know what is causing Mani’s jaw to lock—but we know he deserves the chance to get better.

Your support can help Baw Baw continue providing Mani with the veterinary care, monitoring, and diagnostics he needs while his medical team works to solve this mystery.

Please consider donating today to help Mani get the answers—and care—he deserves. 🐾
