Jack are you sure the sound is coming from the jaw and not breathing? The reason I ask this is once when Semi had a RI, I heard clicking and thought it was his jaw when it was really his breathing occasionally. I really don't know if jaw clicking is MBD. Are there other symptoms of MBD present?

I agree. Jaw problems a sign of more severe MBD; there would be other symptoms. If there are no other symptoms, I'd bet it's a URI or possibly a bit of shed stuck in his nose (I know it sounds weird, but it can make a very strange clicking/whistling noise!).

Hi Everyone! it could be anything I guess. Red really has not made the sound long enough for me to be positive. I have not found a vet yet. The only people I know in this area are my relatives. so no help there. all act normal otherwise.
