If it is, I have seen this and it is idiopathic facial nerve paralysis in Goldies. Hopefully a neurologist will be along with an explanation of the exact mechanism but it should be self limiting. Its probably advisable to do a full neuro work-up but otherwise just monitor for progression in case it is part of more serious progressive generalised neuropathy.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/124292?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 12 Nov 2014 22:05:07 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:2b5afbc4-251e-4538-bbb9-e2fec3a23971Sammy82<p>mmm, does he actually activly only curl up his left side or is the right sight somehow paralysed?&nbsp;</p> <p>That&#39;s how I looked when I came back from the dentist the other day! </p> <p>&nbsp;I think a clinical neurological examination will tell you more than a picture can.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
