==Clinical Signs==

Animals may present with a '''history of trauma''' - it is particularly important to check any trauma cases (particularly cats) for mandibular [[Fractures|fractures]]. Otherwise they may have a history of '''dysphagia''' or '''inappetance'''. On physical exam '''instability of the jaw''', '''malocclusion, halitosis and oral pain''' may be evident. Often mandibular body fractures are open, therefore there may be an '''open wound''' over the fracture site.
