Today was our first checkup after the teefers Sir Jury, and I got to come back to the 'private' part of the clinic to see the exam. The white coat is pleased with the front part of the mouth, and not pleased with the back part of the mouth. The teefers in the front are coming in. The ones in the back are not. So, in three more weeks, we go back for another checkup, and schedule the second Sir Jury for June. I knew there would be another one in the near future, so, I wasn't suprised.
Binx was pretty good for the picture taking...though he was a huge wiggle worm at first. With six hands on him, he finally just gave up, and let the camera visit his mouth, up close. He got ALL his shotties, too, plus heartworm meds. I already started him on flea/tick.
The vet indicated that Binx can now begin some crunchy food eating, so, I am thinking of the way to switch him over. I think at first I will just not blend his food at all...and let him get used to eating the mushy chunks. Then, I will just soak it less and less each time. Probably not to the point where it isn't soaked at all, but, I have to get him used to chomping.
He weighed in at 60.6 pounds, but, he is STILL skinny. He just won't keep growing taller. I wonder if duct tape would work? He he he.
So, look for another update June 4th!
The vet did suggest I write to the breeder indicating the situation so that the breeder can learn this is/can be hereditary, and might be in the line, and to let them know if anyone else has this problem. Binx's condition WILL be published! What a thing to be known for...eh?

I bet you will be happy to start chompin' on those crunchies. Now start working on those back ones--We'll keep you in mind for your next appointment and wish you the best for your next Sir Jury.
