Well the vet appt didnt turn out so great. It appears that Marley may very well end up loosing the last 4 teeth in her mouth. She had an infection in her gum and now is on antibiotics for a week with a follow up visit in two weeks. We will take it from there..My vet said we'll work on getting the infection out and give her some more time to settle in before doing anything. I agree.
Not to sound totally gross here but I had to ask the vet why Marleys poop was so LARGE.. I mean you wonder how such a little dog could possibly do that. She explained that with puppy mill dogs they are so used to holding it for as long as they can that it stretches out their colon and causes that. I teared up right then and there. Each day I look at this precious face and wonder how anyone could walk by and ignore this girl. How they could let her teeth rot in her mouth. Lord only knows the rest.
More later. |
