Bj is Home

I wanted to post and let everyone know that Bj is now home and sleeping pretty soundly. The doctor had removed two of the really bad teeth. He said there was a ton of pus underneath both of the teeth and it was a real mess to clean up it was so bad. But he thinks it looks pretty good. He needs her to come back next week to pull the 3rd effected tooth.

he sent off some of the infection for a culture to see what kind of bacteria it is and what it could effect. He took some blood and sent that off as well. he is testing for:

CBC

Chemistry

T4

Lyme

Heartworm

and something with a "P" Looks like phlelestouy

we should know something tomorrow on the culture and most of the blood work. After the culture is done, we will see which path to go if there were any organs effected based on the bacteria so more tests might be needed for that and then possibly cancer. He didnt want to go on until he got some results back, then he could tell me which way we needed to go.

We go back in a little over a week to remove the remaining tooth, (granted the test results are all good), and get her shots.

She has antibiotics she is on and he gave her a prescription for Primadel for her sore leg.

Her trip home was comical, she was pretty out of it still from the pain meds and anesthesia. She was quite stoned and feeling no pain it looks like. She wasnt walking a very straight line. It was funny.

Anyway, we will know more over the next few days and update the blog as we get more info on the results.

Thanks to everyone who wished her well and was there for her stressed pops. It was mucho appreciated and she would give you a woof, if she could put her keep her head up! I am sure she will be glad to hear how concerned everyone was.

Much love
