Anyway, I’m so sorry you are going through this again, and hope they can fix this soon. Poor little guy has been through way too much in his short life. Sending prayers. |
Nancy I agree that one state of disease can cause another! Here, I think the periodontal disease is just something maybe he was prone to. I think it's his genetics rather than the medication he is on for epilepsy (that med doesn't have side effects of this nature and has a low toxicity when compared with more conventional drugs). Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. Teddy is doing fine, he doesn't seem to be in pain, and I'm hoping his medication works fast to clear this issue. It's creepy to look at that eye!
