I am an emotional nut case. Sorry.
I found my little fur buddy and he looked like he lost a fight. So I took him to the vet and he mentioned he had a dislocated jaw. I have no idea how his jaw got that way.
The vet took xrays, gave him pain peds and antibiotics. While he was under anesthesia, he popped his jaw back into place. The vet mentioned I might have to take him to a specialist if he doesn't start eating within a few days.
A few days went by and I saw the specialist. His recommendation was surgery to align the jaw. The specialist said the difficult part would be feeding him through a tube for 6 to 8 weeks. He successfully came out of surgery and he's home now. I've done my first feeding.
I can't tell my friends because they would give me grief for care I'm providing. They would've put the animal to sleep. I couldn't do that.
I'm trying to put on a brave face and make sure my fur buddy will be o.k. I feel like such an old man. Thanks for listening.
