Teddy is in recovery and doing well.
The CT scan showed several very small pockets of fluid behind his eye and in the area where the tooth was extracted. So they now do not think there is a new tooth involved but that there is a root of a tooth left inside where the tooth was removed OR some other complication inside that area from the dental surgery. The other possibility which cannot be ruled out at this time is that it is a cancerous process. We will know that when the pathology results from the sample they took are complete in a few days. She again asked me if he chews on sticks as something might have gotten lodged (even temporarily) and caused an infection.

So we are leaning toward an infectious process behind the eye stemming from the area where the tooth was removed. He's coming home tonight with a cocktail of medications and is being readmitted monday morning for the dental department to assess and radiograph the area. The eye is stable without pressure within the eye and he is ok to come home for the weekend.

Poor Teddy, he has a few more days of this until we know for sure. At least he can rest with his family until then.
