Introducing BINX!!!!!

[Cinder & Smoke]

We just heard from Mr Binx's Mom - Johanna...

She's a bit too worried and upset to post right now - so here goes with what Dad knows...

Mom & Mr Binx went to the Dental White Coat this mornin - and Mr Binx got a preliminary exam. The Doc needs to do some X-rays, Biopsy, and Blood Work - so Mr Binx got to stay wiff Doc; an Miz Johanna got told to take a hike fur a while...

She's at werk rite now - wurryin.
Hope mebee she's talkin to our Buddie, God; while she has a minnit.

The Vet said he wuz purdy *puzzled* by Binx condition - nebber seen it affore. But the Gud Newz is that a world renowned Dental Specialist is gonna visit in towne in about 10 dayz - so Mr Binx will have TWO Specialists werkin on his case!!

**HOT FLASH** 1PM ALERT!

Doc jest call Momma Johanna ~~~~

Mr Bink had *everything* photographed, X-rayed, and tested...
Oh heck - here's Mom's Own Wurds...

OK, just got off the phone with the dental vet. Binx is still there, under sedation.
He has had xrays of his mouth, hips, front wrists area.
Binx definetely has a left hip/leg issue. Not really sure if Dysplasia, the Radiologist will make the determination. Seems like his muscle tone is weak, and that is why he limps, favors it. Doesn't know if the femur/pelvis bone structure is working out right, but, that will be the Radiologist's call. A 5-6 day wait.

Mouth = yikes!
Says there definetly SOME teeth in there...
looks like both adult and puppy teeth.
Starting to develop cysts around them...
called Gingival Hyperplasia (too much gum)
BUT, some of the area is hard - like bone
growth, extra bone growth.
So, biopsies taken, sent to lab, 5-6 day turn
around.
Binx WILL be seen by the specialists-specialists, and that fellow will guide my local specialist.
Something needs to be done, just don't know what.

Bloodwork was drawn, but the lab girl is out sick today, so the bloodwork will be done tomorrow. Then, we will think about heartworming him in a few days. No worry about rabies shots, cause he isn't six months yet.
Stool sample for parasites will be done.

Binx is going to be coming out of sedation soon, and I should be able to get him this afternoon... here comes the tears... for my poor little big puppy dog.
I just don't want him to be in pain.
And, things are up in the air with the diagnosis right now.

OK, Pet Talkers ~
