Hi Antonis, a thing or two to check for is open his side lips, and check all teeth for cracks or rot. If you can ope his mouth and make sure nothing is sticking in gums or severe swelling anywhere. If he won't allow will have to take back to vet and put under to check and do xrays. of jaws throat area. Good luck to you and hope its something simple. Peace Lee
Antonis, you may also look for a chiropractor to check him out. I had an akita with TMJ and he had problems opening his mouth. Chiropractor helped him a lot!
Hey Kate What's TMJ? Haven't herd of it. If Pinched neck disk wouldn't presndone do the same Job.? Thanks.
Antonis Milou sorry to hear you are having this issue with your boerboel, I hope its not something serious. Here is some info I found on TMJ, and Masticatory Myositis. I hope this may be of help to you, and I wish you all the best.

Thanks Kate very much. and Marco for the link as well.I figured it was spinal nerve related. Thanks again. Learn something new everyday. Peace
Thank you all for your kind responses,
i took Mihlo to the vet and did a blood test, the vet says its not Myositis because the blood test didn't show, also he has no other symptoms except pain while opening his mouth widely. He is taking anti inflammatories (Rimadyl) and "Synoquin tasty" for almost two weeks now and he is a bit better. I can see him being carefull when taking something in his mouth but he can chew hard treats. He shows zero pain while chewing but pain when opening his mouth widely.
I checked his teeth and lips but couldn't see anything.
Antonis, my kit wasthe same. when he opened wide I could actually hear his jaw click. Really if you can find a good animal chiropractor nearby I would give that a shot!
Good luck Antonis, hope things turn out good. Keep us posted. Thanks.
