[SIZE=8pt]It's been 23 days since Dusty was bitten. I'm not hydroing the wounds any more. There is alot of skin/hair that needs to grow back, but the wounds are all healing well. [/SIZE]

My question is, after he grazes the chewed grass packs into his mouth in front of the bottom and top teeth. I have to scrape it out with my fingers. Hay nor grain does this, only chewed grass. He also has some trouble eating something off my hand. I am wondering if he has nerve damage in the mouth or lips that would cause this? He is eating fine, but there just seems something not right about his mouth. I am hoping if it is nerve damage, it will heal over time.

His poop is normal--no unchewed stuff in it, but I have been limiting his access to grazing.

Has anyone had experience with this?
