gryhndens Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Here is part of Fran's x-rays- according to the report: fracture at the lower left premolar. The removed a loose fragment of bone (from the premolar). She was sent home with Clindamycin and more Tramadol. The premolar will need to be removed and the mandibular fracture repaired surgically. It appears her incisors are only broken at the tips, and should be ok. She is home now, and laying in bed with me. She is very sensitive to every movement.

Guest LynnM Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Can it be wired like they do on cats? If so, then it shouldn't be too big of a deal (for some reason, it's a pretty common thing in cats). Best of luck. It sure looks painful!

gryhndens Posted November 27, 2007 Author Share Posted November 27, 2007 DH to Fran to our vet today (e-vet said we had to, to get a surgery referral, even if we were to bring her back there for surgery), and he said she is definitely going to need surgery--- ok, I know this by now, schedule it! I am getting frustrated by this whole thing now, but there is nothing I can do as I am in my finals week at school and I am in major crunch mode. Not to mention I have to actually show up at work occasionally. I know DH has to work as well- my question is- why is it so hard to get someone to set a time and date for a surgery that we all know has to happen!?!?!?! According to DH: The vet's surgery schedule is booked this entire week, but he might be willing to come in on Friday (his day off). He's is still considering all the best options as to how to repair this. Where the break is located makes it a tough fix. He said it couldn't be wired, and there is not enough foundation to place a plate. DH said they were talking about nuts and bolts and bone graphs... There is a major tooth at the location of the break, with a deep root, so it will difficult to drill there... He is supposed to contact us tomorrow with more definitive plans. I only saw her for a few minutes before I came in here to start working on another paper... (had to take a break) but she appears to be stable, and is snuggling with DS on the floor while they watch tv. She's been wagging her tale, eating and drinking. She has been a trooper, and for her sake I really don't want this to go on much longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryhndens Posted November 27, 2007 Author Share Posted November 27, 2007 Communication... that is a good thing. DH just came in and told me that Fran's surgery is scheduled for Wednesday. Apparently, the vet called sometime this evening while I was in class. I am taking her in at 8am Wednesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batmom Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Fingers crossed that she can continue comfy till Wednesday -- and especially after. What an ordeal.
