With your antibiotic, try to get in a probiotic a few hours after giving the prescription. Antibiotics can cause some digestive upset, probios help combat that.
I try to give a probio about 2 hours after. Goats milk kefir is awesome and most cats LOVE it (goats milk = no lactose, perfectly fine...
It wasn't an abscess... It was oral cancer.
I didn't think it could progress that way, but it was his whole lower jaw that was swollen and he was hurting so much... I didn't want to think too long.
I let him go earlier, he fell asleep with his pretty yellow head in my hand. Cried myself sick...
Its actually gotten alot more swollen in the last hour... Ive been awake all night trying to find some way to help him... vets office opens in 30 minutes.
I hate this so much, he was completely fine Tuesday, no signs of an issue like this.
This is how he is sleeping :-/ He raised his head so I snapped a couple pics. Poor boy. I've been up all night finding every feline dentist in the area to call tomorrow. After I call the vet he's been seeing to see if theres anything I can work around with them. My fiancé is going to shoot me...
Oh, that would have been a god send.I really hope he gets better and not worse (your vet). The world needs people who will still do that, not very many will anymore. Money is most of what it all comes down to now. I think I will call and ask her if there is anything I can do as far as payments...
Thats what I was thinking... Poor old guy doesn't have very many left anyway, he's down to only the big canines in front and most of his back teeth (none of the little ones on top or bottom at the front of his mouth. But he also showed little if any gum disease before this.
Is there anything at...
His blood looked like:
RBC, HCT, HGB all mid-high range of low.
RDW low end of high range
WBC high end of high range
NEU high end of high range
PLT mid-high end of high range
LYM, EOS, BASO low end of normal range
MONO high end of normal range
GLU, BUN low-mid range of normal
CREA low range...
Solaray, which is usually pretty reputable..? I guess i'll check out Whole Foods tomorrow to see if I can find an unprocessed powder. Or would you have any recommendations on brand? (Something a local health store might carry or vitamin shoppe?
Im going to fix the door before we leave... puppy also scratches our door if no one else is home and she wants out to go potty. No point fixing it if we might be moving in 2-3 months and she might scratch it again in that time anyway.
I did in fact get the second job at Petsmart... and we are...
