Wise Old Thumper
Dixie has been looking a bit down since the weekend and started dribbling on Monday. I thought it must be molar spurs despite the fact that he didn't stop eating veg (which is the usual sign for him).
My vet couldn't see anything on a conscious examination, so he had a GA...which showed that his molars were fine, but that he had a large ulcer at the back of his mouth.
He's had pain relief and has been put on a course of penicilin just in case it's a bacterial infection.
Neither the vet or I have any idea why he has this mouth ulcer. It isn't caused by his teeth (although he does have teeth problems and had a tooth root infection in his incisors around this time last year).
So, any thoughts on a possible cause? And how should we be treating it?
