Mickey will be 11 in August.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. |
I am so sorry to hear of Mickey's tumor. I have not experienced it personally, but I had a neighbor that went through it. Her Yorkie had a mouth tumor (located in the jaw). Upper and lower jaw was totally removed on one side. Her baby eats Moist and Meaty. Not the greatest food in the world, but soft enough for her baby. He's fine now. She has never regretted having the surgery done. He is very happy and has adjusted to his handicapp quite well. Good Luck.
