[Dailydrool] Scooter doing better`

[Johnson, Kathryn L]

The Drool comes through again!  Scooter is doing much better.  They have done the lab tests and she does not have lymphoma.  The question is, what does she have.  They are thinking it's a abscess behind her eye.  She was given a ton of shots - two kinds of antibiotics, steroids, pain meds.  She was way, way better in 24 hours.  I wouldn't say she is fine, but I'd say 80%.  She has started eating again and is now taking all of her meds orally.  She even ate a bit of kibble today along with her canned food.  We appreciate all the kind messages and drool being slung - if you could just sling a bit more (as I don't think she is totally out of the woods yet) we'd appreciate it!

A theory as to why the abscess - she had her teen cleaned in February.  I have my vet checking to see if it is possible that some bacteria was dislodged during the teeth cleaning and could have migrated up to her sinus cavity causing the abscess.  Anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks,

Kathryn
Scooter, Rocky and Sandy (ATB)
