Tetanus infection can produce lock-jaw but that is very unusual today.

Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is a problem affecting the 'chewing' muscles and the joints where the lower jaw meets the skull. Some causes are: grinding your teeth during sleep, wear and tear caused by osteoarthritis, injury to the joint, stress, uneven bite, specific diseases such as gout or fibromyalgia.

Do boxers have lock jaws?

Hi there, I own an American Staffordshire Terrier, very powerful dog including the jaw. My best friend owns a boxer and we had this exact discussion between ourselves about 2 years ago. We exhausted every avenue of "lock-jaw". Read every thing we could find about lock jaw and asked numerous Vets. They all had the same answer......No dog on this earth has "lock-jaw". The only case of a dog having lock-jaw was a dog with tetanus lock-jaw, it is very rare that a dog gets this type of disease , that is the only type of lock-jaw a dog may get. It's a medical condition , nothing to do with the actual "lock-jaw" I hope this answered your question...there is no such thing as a dog with "lock-jaw". Its a myth. Check out this site, its the one we found to be most creditable and he confirmed the "lock-jaw" myth http://pitstopnc.tripod.com/id2.html
