I hope that labs can be done soon and the dog put on a diet that is appropriate and possibly meds to stimulate her appetite (cerenia, mirtnazapine). I will pray for all involved.

I see Dolly is now at a vet. How sad that no one knew until now that she had a growth in her mouth. I thought a vet had seen her when she was surrendered. Poor baby

Scrappy had a growth in his mouth as well. Everything was fine. He was playing even. His usual routine was after dinner he'd go and "clean" his toys. Bf noticed one of his toys had blood on it. He looked in his mouth and he saw a growth. We went to his vet the next day and the vet thought it was an impacted tooth and took it out. Within 48 hrs he started having seizures. Seems like the growth was from some type of poison. Hoping Dolly didn't get into anything serious.

Never heard of a poison doing that. Sounds like Dolly may need a specialist.

I agree that Dolly needs a new vet. This one wants to drain her mouth - presumably without a CT scan - and that will be a huge mistake. The dog also can have her blood drawn and I don't get why that hasn't been done.

I commend this rescue for taking the dogs in, but feel like they need to step up the vet care on this dog. I had read that the dogs had been treated and had dentals at the original vet. If that's true, the problem in the mouth can be due to a post dental abscess. Either way a CT scan and intraoral X-rays are in order. Why can't the dog be masked down with ISO? Looking at her video she doesn't seem all that frail to me. I've had sicker under anesthesia.

I hope they can get this together, the poor thing.

I am praying for her. I hope she gets to a specialist soon. I have never had a pup that could not have anesthesia.....even at 2 pounds with cardiac issues; so if that is being said by a vet I agree a new one is in order.

I stand corrected -they finally did blood. It was confusing because it said that full blood was to be done then they said they were waiting for results.

i just think they'd do better in a speciality hospital but I'm not sure of the availability in Oklahoma.

I guess they're doing their best.

Blood is the first thing I do for my own and my fosters. But...people do what they feel is best I guess.

Not my place to look for it, but I am sure there are specialists available..if not, then perhaps reaching out to someone who has access to specialists might be in order. I don't know. Just my thoughts for the sake of the pup.
