Is she chewing on anything hard? |
Ok, I'll do that. I asked about the buffing when he recommended it, and he said they didn't need it because they chew anyway. I'll ask my old vet in Oklahoma....I love him and trust him.
She rarely chews on anything hard, and even then, it's not that hard (has some give to it, not like those really hard Nylabones, or whatever). Actually, she rarely chews. She has 1 favorite toy (a tiny Kong bear with a squeaker) and rarely wants to play with anything else. Every once in awhile, she gets a wild hair and wants to play with other toys and chews, but it's pretty rare.
I looked in her mouth again just a few minutes ago....the blood clot is smaller, and I still don't see anything in there still. I'm definitely taking her in though, as soon as I can get her in.
