ANY HELP WITH ANTIBIOTICS WOULD BE APPRECIATED!!!!

[Papabear90]

The vet I was referred to was wonderful! They did xrays on him and deained the abscess. Vet SAS aid that the abscess had "marsupialized" (spelling?) Meaning that it had created pockets or membranes inside. Had to travel a bit but it was so worth it. While they were doing the oral exam one of his molars FELL OUT. She said they were not pulling or anything just probing to see what was going on and it fell out. So she's thinking it was likely the cause of the issue in the first place. They did blood labs and a culture so waiting on the results from that (may take up to a week). They are emailing me the actual xrays tomorrow

I am so relieved that you're home safe and sound with your little one.
Prayers were answered.

I’m also relieved that the vet visit is over and was a success.
It sounds like it was definitely needed. Those deep infections are hard to treat with just antibiotics.

By the way, from my non-professional opinion, those teeth look awesome. I don’t see any signs of odontoma. That would have been the worst case scenario.
You might have to learn to trim the teeth as the incisor that fell out will leave a void for the opposing incisor. It might overgrow without anything to file against.

I think it should heal up fine now.

Edit... oh wait, you said molar. He will never miss a molar.

Those X-Rays are fascinating.

I have trimmed his teeth once and I do his "brother's" every 3-4 weeks. Using a dremel. I have nippers but I'm worried about splitting. I haven't trimmed his recently because of all the mouth issues hes been having lately. Going to give him a few days before that to recover. I'm still going to have him on clavamox every 12 hours. And still will continue with abscess flushing. Still about 2 hours from home.

That’s great that you have experience with teeth. The X-rays look awesome.

Wow, you have had a long day. Safe travels. Get some rest tonight. You deserve it.

Going to go home and have a drink (I earned it) and try to relax. Maybe even sleep in tomorrow. He gets to go right to bed after ABs.

[Papabear90]

Just got home. We stopped at a grocery store on my way home to get him snacks. He didnt want any food or water on the way home. (He hadn't eaten anything since 915-930 this morning.) Which isn't like him, but I'm sure he was out of it with. The vet visit, surgery, and the 8 hr drive today. Hopefully, this will clear up the infection! Good night, I can't thank you all enough for your help!!!

I am so relieved!!! I might even get some decent sleep tonight!

I will post original images of xrays tomorrow.

This is wonderful. I have been afraid it was one of the incisors and THAT would have been very bad.

[Mel1959]

Wonderful news, papabear. Guess you won’t need to make a trip to Florida......but if you ever do.......

[frankc]

[RockyPops]

When you have a chance Papabear,

We need a name for this tough little one...and his brother. He needs to be properly addressed.

And some pics of him and his brother.

This little guy is Ragnar. Fresh pics of incision point from this morning


And this is bear. He is about 2 very calm and loving. Needs his teeth trimmed constantly. So I made him a papoose.

Holy Guacamole, Batman! I always wondered what would pop up if you Googled "squirrel bondage"!!!

I can't stop laughing. Poor Bear!

I'm crying I'm laughing so hard!!!!!!

It looks like a torture device. And I guess he probably sees it as one but I can assure you it's as comfortable as i could make it. It was more of a prototype. That was version 1.0 working on 2.0 made out of fleece. And covering the duct tape (pretty big opening but I'm not trying to strangle him, just keep the paws down lol) and cover that with fleece or satin. Nothing is off limits for the two little princes!!

I’m really glad your boy is on the mend. You have the best of TSB best helping your sweetie. Um—I sure would love directions to your bondage bag. I have a little squirrel with teeth issues. No tops—so when we’re home I take her to the vet monthly. When we’re in Iowa there’s nobody but me to do the deed. My girl has more arms than a Shiva statue. That bag looks like it might just keep arms IN. The teeth have to be trimmed so I’m willing to spend an hour and a half for a 10 second clip but if that bag works—you will be my lifetime hero!
