How is Erin healing? Hope she's doing well. Should be Gus's last vet appointment tomorrow, his wound has almost healed now
Thanks for asking. She's eating really well now, as in as well as having an appetite she's eating quickly, I think it's taken her a while to adapt to eating differently. She would have been due for her check up on Tuesday but seeing as she spent between day 1 and 7 and then day 14 - 21 at the vets I'm assuming she doesn't need a day 28 check up!
Glad to read that Gus is doing well also.
Aw great news, had a little set back with Gus, Friday was supposed to be his last appointment but there was more pus in the wound that my vet would like at this stage so we are back again Tuesday, hopefully the last time!
Just wanted to update this with happy news.
After her tooth removal Erin needed 2 dentals, 4 months apart to remove one spur off the tooth opposing the missing tooth.
It's now 6 months since her last dental and FHB has told me that there has been no change in the tooth and she has discharged her from further check ups - she doesn't believe the tooth will cause any further problems
My girl still has a weepy eye since all this began, but that's it. It's done
Just updating this!
Erin has had a very wet eye for a week or so but eating like a good 'un. I was concerned about infection in her eye as some of the 'stuff' seemed a bit grey.
Anyhows, she had a nasty needle-like spur sticking into her cheek and her cheek is infected :shock: It was 'the' tooth, ie the one opposite the one that was removed. so poor, poor girl must have been in so much pain but just carried on eating regardless.:shock: So, she's had the spur taken off and must be so relieved.
