Hi all,
I live in the Fort Lauderdale, FL area and am caring for a wonderful 14-month old boy we rescued at a week old. His vet says his two lower teeth need to be extracted due to odontoma but he's not equipped to perform the procedure. He's been getting a recurring abscess on his jaw and is being treated with Baytril until we can get a surgeon's opinion.
Does anyone have recommendations for a vet that is experienced in this area? We're willing to travel outside of the South Florida area, if necessary, to make sure he gets the care he needs. We contacted Dr. Emerson at Ravenwood Veterinary but she is no longer there and Dr. Kelleher at Broward Avian and exotics won't see squirrels without a permit (even though it's not required in FL).
Any recommendations and guidance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
