Jun. 24th, 2007 10:35 amI guess I haven't posted for a while. Short update on Betty, she came home last Thursday and all signs of infection are gone. It's so very good to have her home again.
Gilly went in for another post-op appointment last Monday. All looks good on her healing, the doctor is very pleased, but (and you know a "but "always means more $$) her jaw will not stay aligned. She's our little snaggletooth baby girl, with one canine sticking out the side of her mouth. It can look a little menacing, unless her tongue has also popped out on the same side, then she just looks goofy. Oh, scratch the menacing - she always looks a little goofy. And the same canine is turning purple from the lack of blood supply. The vet recommends a root canal or she runs the risk of abscesses forming there. And, since her jaw won't stay in place, we need all four of her canines filed down so she will not continue to create little sores where the canines hit flesh. And, they have to remove the little metal buttons she put in for the rubber band device that didn't work. And while they're in there, they'll clean her teeth. All for the low, low cost of $1000 plus another vacation day off work.
Gilly just came in to get a drink of water (oh, is she a sloppy drinker now), but first she comes and stares at me for a minute with her best goofy look. I think I heard her jump up on the bed, which means she thinks it's time for![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
