Abstract

Abstract
Acute trigeminal neuritis of traumatic origin was diagnosed in a middle-aged Labrador retriever dog based on clinical signs, such as dropped jaw, loss of corneal reflex, drooling of saliva, etc. Certain symptoms, such as Horner’s syndrome, masticatory muscle atrophy, etc., were absent, while intact swallowing reflex, partial paralysis of tongue with lateral deviation were the atypical clinical signs. Complete recovery was observed within 45 days with supportive therapy and management by the client.
Keywords: Atypical trigeminal neuritis, dropped jaw, labrador
