So our poor boy Bok had started drooling again. Frustrated with the vets around here we drove him out two hours to Dr. Lucas in Saratoga Springs. She was the first vet that we felt comfortable with so far, and really seemed to know what she was talking about. We were a little nervous as we heard she takes a little warming up to, but she was very friendly with us and answered all our questions.
It looks like poor Bok Choy's teeth are not "perfect" like the second vet we went to told us, and as we pretty much expected. He had several points that she could see as soon as she looked into his mouth. On one side of his mouth he had a "wave"? I'm not sure what that is. He had a point growing into his cheek and another on on the back molar. So overal not great.
It was late in the day yesterday so we could not do proper x-rays. She told me I can email the ones that the one vet took for us so she can take a look. For now, she filed his teeth for us and took care of everything on the surface. We are just going to play it by ear with him. We will see if the filing helps at all and if it comes back quickly or not. If she can't see enough from the x-rays I am emailing her we are going to take him back out in a few weeks for a proper one and go from there.
For now he seems to be doing well. He is on Metacam, Critical Care, Benebac and Enrofloxacin.
Wish us luck with him.
