No improvements to talk about. This dog can be a little hard to read. Shes lazy,so sleeping all day really isnt out of the norm for her. Shes never sucked a water bowl dry.its actually kinda rare to see or hear her drinking. But food is a different story. She will pass up dog food but she has never passed up any human foods. The vet told me when she starts sleeping all the time,stops eating or drinking,the end is near.
She did finally eat yesterday. On mondays,my wife brings her home some meatballs and other trimmings from work. So when my wife came home,she was expecting meatballs (she knows when meatball day is). My wife said she was jumping and hopping around waiting for meat balls. She told her there werent any and she snorted at my wife and ran in the room and ate the food i gave her.
The bad breath seems to be a come and go thing. It hasnt been the rancid make you want to puke smell. More of a lingering fart smell.you kinda gotta be right next to her to smell it.the rancid smell could be smelled across the room.
The drooling and licking isnt as bad as it was
FOR THE WHACKOS WHO FEEL THEY NEED TO MESSAGE ME SAYING IM POISONING AND KILLING MY DOG. i discussed this with my vet. It is safe. I can double what im giving her if i want too. The vet gave me the fenben.if it wasnt safe,i doubt he woulda gave me the stuff and id doubt you could walk into tractor supply and buy it off the shelf without a prescription. Dont waste your time messaging me,im just gonna block and ignore you.
BRO … I have had pets on deaths door. If your dog was JUMPING and hopping around … your girl is far from death. Also, go get some meat balls. If she is willing to scarf down some meatballs during the fenbend treatments … go get meatballs. Lots of them.
I have been following your saga, and I swore I wouldn't inject my ‘two cents’, but I have to offer a solution to the gum infection issue. I had a rabbit that had SORT OF the same thing. Yeah, dogs are not rabbits. I got it. That being said, my buddy who had the same issue once told me to squeeze a bunch of Ivermectin Paste on a Q-Tip and gently massage it on the infected area. One day … in ONE DAY the infection swelling and redness was gone. Three days the site was healing awesome. Completely gone after 10 days.
I know a lot of people think Ivermectin is a cure all. It is not. But for infections in animals … holy shit does it work amazingly well.
yes yes yes on the iver straight on the sores - humans too! It is amazing. I have used it on and in my dogs for years. For various things. For this it should def help even just a pea sized finger blob to the roof of her mouth. rub another pea size on the cheek lump. twice a day. along with fenben
