Splinter my dental chin has finally reached the point where I have no choice but to take him to the specialist to be put under. As some may remember we suspected teeth problems but we almost lost him when he was put under so no xays were taken. He's been improving with eating critical care, maintaining weight, etc... but the last couple of days he's almost gagging of choking on the CC when he eats. He eats willingly but it's getting so hard for him. And just now he was stretching his mouth wide open and drooling a thick mucus all over. He's never drooled before but now its like his mouth was filled with it. I feel helpless... what can I do until I get to a real vet in the morning? No ER vets can do what he needs... please please help!!
 
There is nothing you can do but kindly put him to sleep. Teeth issues can't be fixed, they are managed at best. He is literally choking forcing food down cause he is soo hungry. Its not kind to keep dragging it out.
 
I'm sorry for your loss. He's in a better place and no longer suffering. RIP Splinter.
