Currently, What Is the Best Treatment for Craniomandibular Osteopathy? ?

Question by proteinchemist333: Currently, what is the best treatment for Craniomandibular Osteopathy? ?
My scottie was just diagnosed with this. Apparently he has a sever case of it. I am currently giving him the Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory drug Rimadyl and the pain killer Tramadol. He will be neutered after tomorrow.

Is there anything else I can do? Does anyone know of any CMO specialists out there that I could contact?

Does anyone have a success story for a dog with quite severe CMO? Does the bone usually regress allowing for more jaw function?

Any info you could give me would be very appreciated. Thanks.
5gr8k9s: Thanks for the info. Like I said he’s only 6 mos old so I hope he makes it to a year w/o his jaw fusing to his skull otherwise we’d have to put in a feeding tube and that would be bad times.

Others: Thanks for the advice to ask my vet but I have already. It’s a very rare disease that there is currently no cure for. No one really knows how to deal with it for sure, but I’d like the most info possible.
