Reggie and Sydney went to the vet today. They both needed updated vaccinations. Also there were a couple of other things.
A while back Reggie had some lumps in his neck...we took him to the vet and he was given a shot/antibiotic and the lumps pretty much went down. Well they started growing larger again. The vet said he thought that it was caused by an infection from his teeth. Reggie is older and has pretty bad teeth, they were scaled a few years ago but they've gotten bad again...so anyway, he said it would be best to just pull all his teeth. I guess he tried to pull all the teeth but a couple were still good so he still has a couple of teeth left. He gave us some pills to give him for the next week or so as well.
And Sydney has stitches now. A while ago she got a little wound on her side (we think she caught it against something outside). We kept it clean and it healed without infection or anything, but the scar was really puffy. We thought it would go down but it never did, and it seemed to bother her a bit. So the vet cut it open and apparently there was a little cyst that had formed under the scar. I hope the scar from the incision heals better!
They are both really groggy right now. Poor Reggie couldn't hardly walk and kept trying to go up the stairs so we just put him in the crate. I think they'll be feeling better soon though, and I hope this helps with Reggie's lumps!
