Can you post a picture of it? Definitely sounds like bottle jaw. It’s caused by severe anemia due to worms. Hold her head and pull down her bottom eyelid. See what color it is on the inside. That is called a FAMACHA score. It should be healthy medium pink. If it’s pale or white she is anemic. All the things she’s doing definitely sounds like she doesn’t have enough blood.
I made a thread called “Liquid sack under jaw” awhile back you can check that out. Has a lot of good info on it.
it mostly went away now, but it was the whole way across her jaw and soft.Is it on one side?
Is it soft or firm?
does bottle jaw go away over night tho? like she still has a little swelling under her chin but it went down a loot that one night.Hows her famacha? Bottle jaw is a reaction to anemia.
Bottle jaw can come and go as fluids moves back and forth. If she is anemic..addressing that will also deal with the bottle jaw. Check her famacha..if she is a 4 or 5 she needs anemia support and deworming.does bottle jaw go away over night tho? like she still has a little swelling under her chin but it went down a loot that one night.
