Dr. Purcell,
Would you do a full cbc/chem profile and the chest xrays for teeth cleaning?
Also,
is it OK to do the teeth cleaning and then give the shots a week or two after
this procedure?
Thanks so much for your reply. I'm getting worried. This little guy is
already insulinomic, had surgery 6 months ago, BG now 54, and on pred 1/4 tab
twice a day.
This last week he's slowed down. Doesn't play as much. Am considering the
possibility of a second surgery. He'd been doing pretty well until recently
so I was trying to hold off just a bit. So much for him to go through. We
think he's about 5 or 6 but not sure because we rescued him from a pet store
(really bad one - no food, water, litter box - just a bare wire cage - yes we
reported them, they're now closed) he was in really tough shape. I love my
little furbutts way too much. Would do anything in the world for them.
Thanks again for your help. It is GREATLY appreciated.
Sincerely,
Tiffany, Oscar, Slinky and Cindy
