My wonderful, if aging, border collie Jewel is hopefully on the mend. She had refused to eat the last three mornings and today was finally seen by our vet. She has a very infected back molar that is being treated with antibiotics and will hopefully come out on Friday.
I am so very relieved! At first, I feared the worst (so unlike me...) and was afraid we were in renal failure. She is, after all, 14 years old. But after learning that my baby is a mere 29 pounds, we drew blood on her and ran the tests... She is normal in every aspect! It seems only the tooth is the culprit! I have breathed a sigh of relief, purchased wet dog food (a very rare treat indeed) and am praying for her to gain a little weight so that we can yank that tooth on Friday and start Jewel back on the road to recovery!

I can not believe that Jewel is still around. One of our dogs reminds me of her. We found out after having puppies that she is 3/4 Border Collie. I am glad she is OK.
ReplyDeletePoor Jewel - I am glad she is doing better though. Those dang back molars :)
ReplyDeleteThanks guys! She is doing wonderfully now! Funny, after her ordeal, I was eating carmel corn and now have my own inflamed situation! LOL! Sympathy pains I guess!
