Just taken our little Cooper in for a check with the vet as he has a small bald patch under his chin, and was holding his head oddly last night. They've found one of his molars is long and curving and it looks like there is an abcess. :( He's had antibiotics and pain relief and is going back for an x-ray and dental on Tuesday, please send vibes for him, really hoping it's not a tooth root abcess.

Thanks all. It doesn't seem to be bothering him to be honest, he's eating like a pig as usual and bouncing about like a happy little fellow. I'm really nervous what they'll find on Tuesday though!
 
Today's the day, my vet is going to take some x-rays and have a look at his mouth under GA then decide whether they can help or if it's a case for referral. Keep your fingers crossed for him.
 
Just spoke to the vet and Cooper is coming round from the GA now.
She said all the problems are on his right side, and that the cheek tissue there is very thickened and rather inflamed.
She thinks are least one tooth needs to be removed, so am going to get a referral up to Cambridge for the specialist to take a look at him and interpret the x-rays then see where to go from there. One of the girls is going to ring to find out when we can get an appt and what sort of cost we're looking at (eek! :shock:).
 
eek, sending vibes. Glad he's come through the GA ok and I hope it will be nothing too serious and costly to sort out.
