I don't know why but I feel really uneasy about him going in tomorrow to have his dental etc.....maybe it's because he's my baby :'( I know they all love him to bits in there and I'm sure he'll be fine but I have a really sickly feeling about the whole thing :'( Keep your fingers crossed he'll be okay, I hate any of mine going in but I think with Sean saying about excessive bleeding with the gums has got me worried :sad no:

Its only natural you are worried, Good Luck Billy for tomorrow xx
-
Good luck Billy.
How old is he Dawn? He is very handsome :Luv:
-
I got Billy in January 2005, the day Dylan got killed so this is another reason he means so much to me :'( Billy was approx 10 months old so he'll be just over 3 now :)
-
Sending lots of good wishes for tomorrow :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Best wishes for Billy tomorrow Dawn - hope all goes well for your gorgeous boy. Fingers and paws all crossed here.
Madam Gummy aka Pearl also sends her regards. : :hug:
-
Thank you all for the good wishes, I'll let you know how he gets on :)
-
Good luck for today.

Best of luck for today Billy.
Don't worry Dawn, I'm sure he'll be absolutely fine :hug:
-

"Good Luck" Billy at the vets today........hope alls okay :hug: :hug:

I hope Billys ok, he should be home by now?

Just got back in with Billy and he's going to be fine :) He's had a fair few teeth out but the problem is down to his gums not his actual teeth. Sean said with a few of them, they came out with a gentle pull..........basically his gums are knackered and he reckons Billy will end up toothless because of this. Not sure how many he had out, over 9 anyway but a few of these were the small front ones. He's going to be uncomfortable tonight but he's had painkilling injections and he's got to stay on the Antirobe for a few days. If he's eating okay, he's going back in on Tuesday for a check up, if not, he has to go back in before. Poor baby looks sooooooooo grumpy bless him and he's dribbling like mad, he doesn't look a happy chappie but hopefully tomorrow, he'll be feeling better.

Clapton was like that last year when he had quite a few out at the same time. It took him about 3 days to come round - he was really miserable. Worth it in the long run though. Hope he's perkier tomorrow :ahh:
-
Well he seems a little brighter already, he's just had a full tin of Gourmet Pearl and is mithering for more :Luv: :Luv:
-
Glad Billy's ok, Dawn. ;D
Pearl highly recommends the Angus beef mince as a suitable recovery diet. :evillaugh:
-
I am so pleased Billy is Ok and hungry already ;D
I had to take Ducha back last year cos he wasnt eating, using tray or anything.
-
Well he seems a little brighter already, he's just had a full tin of Gourmet Pearl and is mithering for more :Luv: :Luv:
Same here - how about 5 pouches tonight :Crazy:
-
Glad he is doing well.
-
Glad Billy's doing well :Luv:
-
Dawn, I'm glad Billy is recovering well. I'm sure he will be much perkier soon. They heal so quickly.
Do you know the reason why his gums are so bad? He is only a youngster isn't he. Could it be genetic?

He's only 3 and I think it is something to do with his breed, he's had problems from when I first got him in.
-
Only just caught up with this thread, glad to hear Billy is doing well today, give him a headbutt and kiss from me. :blow kiss:
-
Billy is eating really well but has had a bit of a dicky tummy since coming home from the vets :tired: I'm hoping by tomorrow it will settle down, I think maybe either the anaesthetic didn't agree with him or he is a little bit stressed by the whole ordeal. I'll see what tomorrow brings :sneaky:
-
Fingers crossed he is better today Dawn.
-
Hope his tummy is better today.
-
It more than likely the Antirobe, Simon only has to have one capsule and his stomach is off! :sick: Clindamycin is not commonly prescribed for humans for that reason.
-
Billy's going back in the vets tomorrow, he's still eating but is in pain at times and he's still got the runs really bad :tired:

Give that massive kitty a cuddle for me please DD and I wish him well for his vet appointment tomorrow xxx
-
Billy went to the vets this morning and his mouth is still really sore bless him :'( He's been given a painkilling injection and an anti inflammatory and also some Ketafen to come home with. He was so frightened, he was shaking :'( Sean said once he starts to heal okay, he'll give him a long acting Steroid jab and hopefully this will improve things for him.
-
Oh bless... Give Billy a hug from me. :hug:
Hope he gets better soon - there's nothing worse than a sore mouth...
-
Poor Billy. I hope Sean was gentle with the big guy. How's his tummy?
-
Poor old Billy :(
Sending him a big hug and a get well soon :ahh:
-
Poor Billy. I hope Sean was gentle with the big guy. How's his tummy?
He was as lovely as always with him :Luv: His tummy's still a bit iffy and he did say it could be down to the Antirobe :sneaky: He's seems alot better in himself since he came home but he's been dribbling quite a lot the last few days which is down the pain I think, hopefully a couple more days should make all the difference.
I had a coffee in there this morning, and Billy just sat on the table and didn't move an inch..........the normal Billy would have had a good mooch round the consulting room so he was obviously feeling unwell :'(
He's had a few cuddles today and the receptionists at the vets was making a big fuss of him, all of them think he's gorgeous :Luv: :Luv:
-
He is gorgeous xxx I hope he feels better very soon xxx
-
He is gorgeous xxx
This is Billy you're talking about isn't it and not Sean :sneaky:
-
Ofcourse I meant Billy :rofl: Although Sean it has to said is very tasty :hug:
-
Although Sean it has to said is very tasty :hug:
He's okay I suppose :innocent:
-
Lots of strokes to Billy ;D
-
Wow. Billy is just adoreable and I hope he is feeling better today. Like Mark's Clapton, our Freddie had lots of teeth out last year aged only 4 and it took a few days for him to recover but no problems since. Hope his gums stop being so sore very quickly. Big hugs to the big young handsome fella
-
Had to take Billy in the vets again on Tuesday, his mouth is still really sore but his gums have healed fine. He's now had a steroid jab that should last him about 6 weeks and an antibiotic injection, he seems a lot better in himself and isn't wincing whilst eating, not sure how long his remaining teeth will last though :sneaky:
-
Aw bless him....hope the jab helps :Luv: ;)
-
Lets hope now he can eat better he will just improve quicker :hug:
