I am so sorry!!! I didn't see this thred![]()
Captain, thanks for posting the reply...and here is a little update. We went to the vets on Wednesday, and Dr. Auvil agrees that the tooth is still 'somewhat' exposed, and that maybe the new way to treat it MIGHT be sucessful. I am not holding my breath folks....what will be, will be. So, we are going to schedule sir jury in a week or so, with Dr. Auvil- the dental vet, and Dr. Lamardi, the human periodontist. The area will be concentrated, 1-2 inches, only, and the procedure will involve getting to the top of the jaw bone. If this isn't successful, then, Binx is done with sir jury. It just isn't fair or right to do it to him.
His leg- well, he is still limping, slightly. He will stay on the rimadly for ten more days..with low exercise. While I will take him with me on Sunday, I won't be letting him play freely, I don't think.
He now weighs 100 pounds, and is 9.5 months old. He loves to go for walks, climb on the couch with me, and let me ride him like the pony he is (not with my weight on him....). Shoes, shoes, and more shoes are his fave toys. He does have about 20 soft stuffies, the coolest one is this thing that looks like a giant Jack, all colorful, with squeakers in each corner. He is still wonderful with the cats...and can walk by them without them getting up (mostly, sometimes, I think they get nervous). He is a huge space taker....the bathroom is nearly impossible to manuever around in with a 100 pound living 'rug'.
Thanks so much for asking, and going on the journey with us. I can only hope for the best, and the rest is up to someone else...
Johanna
