My Poor Dageus.

[Raven]

Well Dageus has to have surgery and goes in for an operation on the 1st of Sept. In the mean time he's on a high dose of anti inflammatory tablets, along side pain killers for ten days. It's the tooth/gum at the very back of his mouth, vet also thinks there may be a bit of an absess there as well. Poor Dageus.
It cost me £110 this morning and I asked for a breakdown of what's to come, have a look at the list. I could weep, but it's for my boy.

[Ashy]

Poor chap, that is very painful.

[Sheila]

Oh dear, poor Dageus.  I hope the painkillers help him

[klondike]

No wonder he's been off colour poor boy. 

[Diasi]

Vet bills aren't cheap, we spent just over £2,000 on treatment for one of our cats recently, but sadly she didn't make it & was put to sleep when I took her for a post-op checkup.

Still, we did our best for her.

You thought it might be a tooth didn't you ? 
Poor Dageus, it doesn't matter what it costs, we pay it don't we !
God bless him, I hope the pain killers are helping him.  ❤

Oh, Raven - poor Dageus. I do hope he soon feels better. It's so worrying when they aren't well - if only they could tell us what is wrong. I had an abscess over a tooth once - absolute agony until the tooth cam out.

I think the antibiotics are kicking in as well as the pain killers,  he's not so miserable and is now watching what's going on around him again. It's a big improvement. Will be so glad when all this is over and he's back to normal.

[klondike]

Was the delay to allow time to get rid on an infection or lack of capacity at the vets? I'm guessing the first. Dentist won't usually touch a tooth if it is infected.

[Raven]

Vet said the swelling and infection had to go down before they could do anything.

[klondike]

Same as dentists then which makes sense. He'll be sorted soon with any luck.

[Jacqueline]

Hope Dageus will feel better soon when the antibiotics kick in, nothing so bad as toothache if your a person or a dog. 

[Michael Rolls]

I do hope that he makes a speedy recovery - as I mentioned, an abscess over a tooth is bloody agonising.

[Scrumpy]

Get well soon Dageus...

[Raven]

He had a walk up river with me this morning and seemed to be enjoying it.
