Nonreleasable in TX with Tooth Issue

[digiandchipper]

Please read the following I received from a friend (her non releasable has malo. and has to have his teeth trimmed each month.) The vet found that the tooth was broken under the gumline and was going to remove. Upon further testing, however, this is the latest:

'He had skull xrays today and they showed that there is some bone mass scarring from when he first hurt his teeth. Some of this scarring is impinging on the nasal passage. Surgical removal is complicated and I don't think my vet is up for it. He would rather do antibiotics, which I am not happy about. Do you have any ideas... did Hammy have to do antibiotics, and if so, what were the side effects?'

Anyone with experience in this AND/OR in the TX area and have any referrals for her, please chime in. She is near Austin, I believe.

Thanks in advance.:tilt
