Chin Slave
I took two of my boys to the vet friday, just wanted to update & get some suggestions on one.
Richie: diagnosed with malo last spring, last tooth filing last august. Dr. said his tooth wear is even, color is great except one tooth she said looked a strange color? could have been the one that fell out last year?? she did anesthesize him and did file one tooth. he has bounced back pretty good. did metacam for the first few days but he was eating pellets and i still supplement a little at night. current weight: 755
Our plan for him is that until he displays drooling or pawing at the mouth than we will continue our ongoing course of treatment. we decided not to do xrays since once he starts showing active signs of malo that is not correctable with a tooth trim he will be PTS.
BUT I am really happy with his progress and compared to where I was a year ago.......I can't believe he is so chunky & active.
Klinger: has chronic eye issues. squinty or moist and last week had a bit of white in the corner. this has been off & on since he came here. he will be fine for weeks and one day he will be moist eye. he eats and poops fine. he goes through wood like a chainsaw, has no other symptoms. she said it did not appear to be infected only irritated and told me to get Terramycin ointment for opthamalic use.
current weight: 444
I am thinking it is either an allergy OR a cleanliness issue. meaning i need to change his fleece more frequently than the others. for the last few days (after cleaning his cage), his eye is perfectly normal and dry. Anyone else have this problem and am I taking the right course of action OR should I ask for xrays??
Thanks for listening........
