On Monday Gemini had his dental and I am so glad I did not wait until he went off his food entirely. The vet informed he had points on the tongue side of ten of his lower teeth (five on each side). Even though he did not have any ulcers, the vet saw some redness which explains why he was eating in slow motion even with Medicam.. He is on a hearty dose of Medicam. He has been given fluids and syringe feed to supplement his meager eating and drinking since he has been home. This has helped his poo and pee to be normal so I know everything is working as it should. He is starting to eat only a couple of greens and a few strands of hay; so I am looking forward to him improving each day as he gets accustomed to the change in his teeth. I do not want to think about his long term prognosis until time reveals more facts.
Gemini and I would appreciate any positive vibes you can spare.
I hope that his eating will improve now that his sharp molars have been sorted out. Did the Vet take any skull radiographs to see what his tooth roots are like ?
