  • Title: "Lumpy jaw" in exotic hoof stock: a histopathologic interpretation with a treatment proposal.
    Author: Fagan DA, Oosterhuis JE, Benirschke K.
    Journal: J Zoo Wildl Med; 2005 Mar; 36(1):36-43. PubMed ID: 17315455.
    Abstract:
    "Lumpy jaw" of artiodactyls and macropods, although often considered a manifestation of actinomycosis, is actually an osteomyelitis, perhaps commencing with a dental root abscess or trauma to the jaw. Anaerobes may be cultured from the lesions, and vegetable matter may be impacted in them. It is a chronic disease and difficult to treat. Successful treatment may include draining the abscess, cleaning the cavity with saline and antibiotics, flushing with a combination of hydrogen peroxide-sodium hypochlorite and Betadine, and apicoectomy and endodontic filling when active inflammation has subsided.
