I met with the vet I like today. I was even late because Sam decided to hide where I couldn't get him. He got poked with a broomstick until I annoyed him enough to move. This is the bottom corner of the cabinets where the thin man couldn't get in.
I like this lady and I now know which days she works.
I met with the vet at 5pm today. Right now he is getting an antibiotic for the infection in the mouth and ear (he has issues with wax in his ears. always has) and some extra steroids to help with inflammation. Convenia and a Steroid. (I was refused this on Tuesday) I got an extra bag of fluids and I may get some pedialyte (suggested by a stomatitis group). He has extractions scheduled for 1 week from today. I need to hydrate him daily. I am hoping to get him hydrated and eating so he can have the surgery and feel much better.
He was also given an appetite stimulant, and it must work fast. He ate a little bit when he got home.
Horner's Syndrome was discussed. Sometimes it's idiopathic, but usually there is an underlying cause: infection, concussion, stroke, tumor, neuro.
If all of this doesn't work, we will look at other causes of uneven dilation.
