Guest Tenderhearts Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 A quick inspection of the mouth last night showed the left lateral aspect of the tongue has less of the white material than before- parts of it have detached from the tongue itself. It's on the run, and FAST. :clap :clap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NevadasMom Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Good to hear the improvement. When you mentioned the cough, I suspected that he had it down his throat also. Nasty! Now..........how do you make a GH "swish & swallow" Nystatin?

smday Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 OMG! Glad it's getting better. All I can add is that I take an inhaled steroid that has a possible side effect of thrush. You are supposed to rinse your mouth after every usage. I've used it for years without rinsing or problems. However, after seeing the pics in this thread I am rinsing thoroughly! Hope your pup continues to improve!!! Quote Lexi the pointeresque mutt (1999), Homer the chi mix (2010) and Lacey the ? (2009).

Guest GentleHugs Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Just a thought here but since you speak of Arizona and Dr. Yochum, has your Grey ever been titered for Valley Fever? It's also a fungal infection and can be treated with fluconazole. Valley Fever can present some really strange symptoms because it's a fungal spore in the soil down there. I hope he gets over whatever it is. GentleHugs, Therese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahicks51 Posted September 13, 2007 Author Share Posted September 13, 2007 Just a thought here but since you speak of Arizona and Dr. Yochum, has your Grey ever been titered for Valley Fever? It's also a fungal infection and can be treated with fluconazole. Valley Fever can present some really strange symptoms because it's a fungal spore in the soil down there. VF is nasty, but it doesn't physically manifest. In other words, you can't see it grow- unlike this booger. Plus, there's no neurological stuff going on. Coco continues to improve. No coughing! I'll pry open his mouth later this evening and see if there are any mushrooms in there. Dangit. Now I want a mushroom burger.

GreytNut Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 You might consider giving him L. Acidophilus supplements (same bacteria found in yogurt but in far higher concentrations and doesn't require feeding him dairy products). You can feed him pills or flavored tablets in his regular food. Just make sure you keep it refrigerated. That stuff works absolute wonders in keeping yeastie beasties at bay.

Guest nursenearlyther Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Maybe a visit to Dr. Yocham is in order if the meds don't work? The drive sucks but he knows his stuff... Sending good vibes your way... He's crackerjack at the stuff that breaks dogs, but I'm in need of an infectious diseases kind of person right now. Don't know how he is in that category. (BTW- if you were at the Gilbert vet clinic today with the greyhound, we bumped into you and yours!) Nope wasn't us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
