Took Biccy for his nails to be cut yesterday and asked for him to be given a healthcheck while i was there.

So out came stethescope etc.

All fine...except his mouth :( :shock:

Vet said the back of his tongue is very sore and red and inflamed. He has a couple of spurs that need sorting.

He's now on daily metacam, same as Ginger 0.6ml/day until next week when he'll have his teef done.

My poor little man!

First time ever, poor iccle man. He's only just had his first birthday :love:

Hopefully it will be a once a year type thing and he's not developing bad teeth. Dont think i could handle any more dentals!
 
Oh bless him, Its just as well you asked for a health check. Hope it goes ok when he has his visit to the "Dentist". Lots of vibes from Bells and Jakes.
 
Aww poor Biccy! :(
He is a strong little fella so he will be fine but will still send some vibes from all of us here!
 
ouchy!

i wish i could keep mine going for a while when a dental is needed. eric tends to need it done the day his mouth feels odd.
 
wishes to biscuit

arr poor biscuit i hope everything goes okay for him and that his mouth heals nicely wishing you all the best

This may be a stupid thought but i wonder if this has any relation to his digging.

It's not stupid at all - frustration aws our thought, same as yuors?

I've had the same thoughts, so has my OH.

I've asked the vet - and he says its perfectly plausible.

However, after a dose of metacam this morning, he's been doing worse digging all day than he normally does :lol:

It would be nice if it was, but that said, with the new setup, the digging doesnt affect the house so much, so its not as concerning when he does dig. 2 litter trays in the dog crate downstairs and one in the office upstairs.
 
i know when matts not right because he starts to dig the trays and megazorb, the curtains and the carpet! more than normal anyway!

poor biscuit. hope he feels better soon and his dental goes well. :)
