Back from the vet....

Where to begin, lol. He's lost a lot of weight, only weigh 8lbs at this point. Not good. He's slightly dehydrated, but not too bad. His temp is really low, not sure why that is. He's got a really infected mouth, but not from the FIV, just that he's really infected.

Sooooooooo... he's on clindimycin (spelling??) for the infection because there were others she can't give him because of his FIV status (steriods etc...), he got a shot, and has pills to take. I need to set him up for surgery for his mouth. He needs most of what teeth he has left (thanks to FIV) taken out. Price won't be too bad, $25.00 per tooth, and $60 for the anesthesia bloodwork. Not sure what the anesthesia costs... Will have to do this NEXT payday, told the vet that as well. I just can't swing it this payday. Already have too much I need to pay and things that won't be paid because I was docked for sick days.

At least I know that he's not dying.... I was so scared I wouldn't come home with him. He just looks soooooo bad. Skeletal and all that. Hopefully the surgery will help, he'll eat more, and he'll gain back some weight. Gotta give him more of the Pet Selects too I guess, cause he can eat that better than the dry food. My poor old man. I hate that he has to wait to have his dental surgery done, but I just don't have the cash, or won't have it on Monday when she wanted to do the surgery.

Thanks for all the prayers and good thoughts. He still needs them, so keep them going, lol.

You may want to check out that Soulistic food I mentioned, to get more fluids in him.

Poor boy, he must feel awful with those bad teeth; I know one tooth makes me miserable! Thos emeds will help the infection start to heal up.

Good luck getting the pills in him!!!

I'm sorry to hear that he has an infected mouth but at least now you know why he's lost weight. Too bad your vet won't let you set up a payment plan so you could pay her at a later date. I hope that the medicine will help him feel better. I'll continue to keep him in my thoughts and prayers.
