So the patient, Buddy...is recovering.
She has an abcessed tooth. Her face was all swollen because it was impacted, so it had to be drained and irrigated. Four times a day now we have to irrigate it with water and iodine. Also, she is on liquid soft food so we have to feed her that through a syringe. Sunday she will start on a course of antibiotics. She was given a shot today for that and also for pain, the poor thing must really have been suffering and i feel so guilty for not being able to act sooner. We did get her in to see the vet as soon as they had an appointment available. She goes back Monday at 5pm for a checkup. The bill for todays appointment was $473. Ouch. It gets worse...she has to go back to have surgery to have the tooth extracted...that will be an additional $1000. Double ouch. Did i tell you i'm not working right now. Man they are expensive... but you can't see your pet suffer, can you...no way.

God bless her, we all love her to death...so anything for Buddy.

Hockey game is on right now...in the first overtime period. Ottawa and Buffalo, go Sens!
