Smokey is my bun with respiratory problems and is on an inhaler and because his breathing takes up a lot of effort, even though he eats really well, he is thin.
Well, I noticed today he seems to have developed a very slight head tilt, and I'm very worried. I have spoken to the vet, I am reluctant to put him through the stress of taking him in the car to the vets, and they know him well. So his will be put on panacur tonight and will start on antibiotics again incase it is an ear infection.
I have asked the vet, who knows him best ( who also rides Bournville), to look at him on Sunday when she is out, to make sure we aren't keeping him going for our sake. I worry that because we see him ever day, we don't notice how bad he is. She will also check his teeth, just in case they are causing him to tilt his head, although I don't know what I'll do if that is the case. I dont' know how he would cope with an op.
I'm so worried about him, and what the vet will say. She's promised to be honest, even if I cry. I was crying today when I asked her, I really don't want to lose him!
can anybody think of anything else I can do.
