[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 384856, member: 852"] Lumpy jaw can be anywhere on the head, not just the jaw. It's caused by a bacteria that gets into the bone, believe it's actinomycosis (sp?). And just because it doesn't respond to antibiotics doesn't mean it's not lumpy jaw... the stuff is very hard to get rid of and may not respond to antibiotics at all, simply because it's not in an easy location for the antibiotics to reach. I've heard that IVs of sodium iodide (slowly!) can help by raising the iodine level in the blood. [/QUOTE]
