OK - gonna reply on Cataholics behalf. I PM'd her yesterday and got this response :
We go to see the oral vet Wednesday for a 'final' decision on whether to try cutting the gum out in a new way. It is all based on one tooth that was exposed this new way. I am not sure the vet will think it was sucessful enough to put Binxie through a whole mouth of it..and I would have to sadly agree. It isn't cancerous, I am thankful to God for that. He doesn't seem bothered by it. Eating is probably 20% harder than for most pups, but, he still eats alot. And, who knows what the future holds...I say, "we all have disability, his is just visible". He is three-wheeled right now...I can pinpoint at least 3 'owies'. It finally caught up to him, and he is limping pretty hard on his front right leg. He got this shot on Sat that made him comatose, which is a good thing. I took him out 1 time only. At 10 pm, the meds wore off completely- and crazy boy came alive. I am just keeping him quiet as much as I can...but, he needs some exercise. I still want to take him to the dog park this Sunday, but, he won't be playing with the other poochies....which he doesn't really do, anyhow... I sure would like to have about 3 months, just 3 months, of no Binxie issues....who ever knew I would become so familar with so many vets! I don't regret it, but, I am ready for some easy living soon, as is Binx! Thanks for asking.
M!
