Been to the vet this morning for a post abcess op check up on Patch. During the op, the vet removed one of her incisors as it was loose and possibly the reason for her abcesses. He looked in her mouth, which he says is now looking very good. No sign of infection, very clean.
She's on a 3 month course of Ultrapen after which, he's asked me how I want to play things.
I have the option of stopping the antibiotics and seeing how she goes, OR I can continue with the injections twice a week for the rest of her life in the hope that we can keep her abcess free.
I'm not really sure how to play this one. I really don't want to stop the antibiotics if it means that she's gonna be back in the operating theatre within a year, but ..... I can't bear the thought of Patch having to put up with unessessary injections if the removed tooth has been the root, (sorry, no pun intended) of all her troubles.
Is keeping her on the jabs going to do her any harm in the long run?
