Wanted to mention a preventive I've been hearing a lot about and reading about...you've prob already heard of it and I think Cathy uses it too. It's called Healthy Mouth ...maybe that would help George preventatively, after he gets his dental...? I dunno, but thought I'd mention it. Let me know if you've tried it already and what you think.
BEST of luck and all good things for George!  |
Thanks, Ann...I will ask the dentist about it. I saw her today while I was there with Olivia. She had just gotten George's labs back and had emailed me so I had asked to see her if she had time. His BUN was slightly increased and his lipase was also elevated. Neither of those should be a problem. My main concern though is that he was hospitalized in February for a severe case of pancreatitis and sometimes anesthesia can set that off. While lipase is a fluky enzyme....I still have a concern. Anyway...she talked with the internal med specialist who treats George and he wants him to stay overnight in medical on IV fluids. So...my little man will be there overnight .. I really do feel more comfortable with that plan. Of course the trachea is scary, but she seems very confident that it will not be an issue. Bottom line, I really have no choice. His mouth is awful...I might get some pics...it is hard to believe it could look as bad as it does after a year and a half. It is going to cost a ridiculous amount but if I don't do this he will suffer and get sick for sure.
