===Craniomandibular osteopathy===
Also known as "Lion Jaw", "Westie Jaw" or "Scottie Jaw", this condition of [[craniomandibular osteopathy]] is caused by excessive bone growth in the bottom jaw, usually occurring between four and seven months of age. Like Scottie Cramp, it is an autosomal recessive hereditary disorder, and can cause discomfort to the dog when it attempts to chew.<ref>{{cite book|last=Vanderlip|first=Sharon Lynne|title=Scottish Terriers|publisher=Barron's Educational Series|date=31 August 2001|page=[https://archive.org/details/scottishterriers00shar/page/81 81]|isbn=978-0-7641-1639-1|url=https://archive.org/details/scottishterriers00shar|url-access=registration|quote=autoimmune.|access-date=2010-02-08}}</ref> The progression of the condition usually slows down between eleven and thirteen months of age, and is sometimes followed by a slow partial or complete regression.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.petplace.com/dogs/craniomandibular-osteopathy-cmo/page3.aspx|title=Craniomandibular Osteopathy (CMO): Page 3|publisher=PetPlace.com|access-date=2010-02-18}}</ref> Craniomandibular osteopathy can affect dogs of the same litter and symptoms of this disease include, difficulty grasping and chewing food, drooling, and swelling of the face, more specifically, swelling around the jaw.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Craniomandibular Osteopathy (CMO) in Dogs|url=https://www.petplace.com/article/dogs/pet-health/craniomandibular-osteopathy-cmo-in-dogs/|access-date=2021-09-19|website=www.petplace.com|language=en}}</ref> Treatment for Craniomandibular osteopathy does not exist, but the use of Prednisone and cortisone can help to ease symptoms.
