Carole, he has gained some weight back since getting insulin for his diabetes, which was diagnosed about two months ago.

This eye infection cropped up earlier last week. George's owner took him to the vet and got eye drops. His eye got worse, and a second vet trip on Friday morning showed that the rotten tooth was causing the problem. Poor baby! The pain meds go into his food, but he is not getting much of them.

I think if he gets the dental and is on a pain patch, along with a Convenia injection, he will be much more comfortable.

Thanks so much for the good thoughts and prayers.

ETA: The vet prescribed the antibiotics and pain meds to make him more comfortable, but said he will need a dental. At least one tooth will need to be removed; he has other rotten teeth as well.

However, his one canine tooth looks good, and when he eats a treat, there is a good crunching sound, so some teeth are ok, I think.
