greyhndz Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 (edited) Bailey made it through just fine. Update is on page 2. Bailey is probably around 16 now. He's been part of my pack and my life for 13 years. Bailz has had a marked (IV/VI) heart murmur for several years, and even though he's not symptomatic of it, my vet has not wanted to put him under anesthesia because of the risk. He's really needed a dental badly for the last few years (he used to have regular dentals twice yearly) but Fiona did not feel it justified the risk of his not surviving anesthetization. Well, we don't have a choice now. I noticed his lymph nodes below his mandible were quite swollen, and he was eating gingerly. Fiona saw him Thursday, and unfortunately he probably blew an abscess in his canine, and now has a fistula communicating with his sinus. This could explain why he's had recurrent sinus infections, though there was no visible fistula 2 months ago when he had his annual exam. He's going in Tuesday, and Fiona will pull any teeth that need pulling (all of them if necessary), clean everything out, scale any remaining teeth, and cover the fistula with a flap. If she doesn't do this, food particles will enter the fistula and also the sinus. He's clearly having dental pain. And the surgery/dental isn't elective. He's on clavamox at least until the surgery, and probably for a while afterward. Please keep my King of Tinkle in your thoughts on Tuesday. I lost Lexi in August, and just couldn't bear it if anything happened to Bailey. Thanks from me and my best boy Bailz!
