Cassie's health

[Pinot's Mom]

Elyse, this really needs to be carefully investigated. I'm not going to say what I'm thinking (although Moesha is well aware), but the area under the tongue needs to be well looked over. Please make every effort to have this looked at.

I hope you and Cassie have a long time to love one another. Keep us posted.

I agree that dealing with the mouth problem should be top priority. I'm not sure how blood work would diagnose that. Maybe an X-ray of her head would help. If she is dehydrated, fluids would make her feel better. Just take one thing at a time and try not to be overwhelmed. We all know you have Cassie's best interest at heart. Be her advocate. Don't be afraid to ask questions about why they want to do certain tests. I'd concentrate on the immediate problem of her mouth. The other things may need to be addressed but could probably be done by during a regular vet visit at a more reasonable price. We are all here to give you support.

Aw, I am sorry. It sounds like dental problems and she may need a tooth extracted or meds for an infection. I would get her back in, the vets are there to help you.

Prayers and hugs for Cassie and for you. I hope you can take her back and have them look more carefully in her mouth and under her tongue. Would Cassie let you have a look? Maybe while you are syringing water into her?

Elyse,

I just replied to your message and agree with the other posts here that the issue with Cassie's mouth needs more investigation. Please call the friend (ER) you have mentioned - he may be able to give you the best direction to take right now.

Lots of love to you and Cassie.
