Broken jaw?

[Tyler_Wentworth_150]

Well my large male jaguar finally really hurt himself charging the glass. He has something protruding under his jaw looking like bony mass. Also his profile is different along the bottom He can't open his mouth. Just happened, super sad and unsure of what I can do

I would give it a few days and keep the water clean. may have just sprung it.

from the pics I am not seeing anything drastic.

I'm concerned because he can't even open his mouth, it's like the whole bone is out of place

I'll get a better shot

again, give him some time. big deference between can,nt and won,nt,

The pics are lousy, and he won't come out of hiding now. Which he has NEVER done.

ya he probably sore. if he has injured himself, in-stinks say do not use it for awhile. if it aint working in a few days I would start to worry.

keep in mind he can go a few week with out eating not harm him any.
