Lets hope now he can eat better he will just improve quicker

Aw bless him....hope the jab helps

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #42 on:** September 20, 2007, 23:05:54 PM »

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

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

Lots of strokes to Billy

Poor Billy. I hope Sean was gentle with the big guy. How's his tummy?

He was as lovely as always with him

His tummy's still a bit iffy and he did say it could be down to the Antirobe

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

Mark · « **Reply #34 on:** September 04, 2007, 22:30:45 PM »

Poor old Billy

Sending him a big hug and a get well soon

Oh bless... Give Billy a hug from me.

Hope he gets better soon - there's nothing worse than a sore mouth...

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #31 on:** September 04, 2007, 14:30:57 PM »

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.

Give that massive kitty a cuddle for me please DD and I wish him well for his vet appointment tomorrow xxx

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #29 on:** September 03, 2007, 20:08:23 PM »

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

Millys Mum · « **Reply #28 on:** August 31, 2007, 16:53:25 PM »

It more than likely the Antirobe, Simon only has to have one capsule and his stomach is off!

Clindamycin is not commonly prescribed for humans for that reason.

clarenmax · « **Reply #27 on:** August 31, 2007, 08:58:36 AM »

Hope his tummy is better today.

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #26 on:** August 31, 2007, 07:33:54 AM »

Fingers crossed he is better today Dawn.

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #25 on:** August 31, 2007, 02:47:21 AM »

Billy is eating really well but has had a bit of a dicky tummy since coming home from the vets

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

LesleyW · « **Reply #24 on:** August 30, 2007, 12:54:21 PM »

Only just caught up with this thread, glad to hear Billy is doing well today, give him a headbutt and kiss from me.

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.

chrisleitz · « **Reply #22 on:** August 30, 2007, 11:00:38 AM »

Dawn, I'm glad Billy is recovering well. I'm sure he will be much perkier soon. They heal so quickly.

Well he seems a little brighter already, he's just had a full tin of Gourmet Pearl and is mithering for more

Same here - how about 5 pouches tonight

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #18 on:** August 29, 2007, 22:25:05 PM »

I am so pleased Billy is Ok and hungry already

I had to take Ducha back last year cos he wasnt eating, using tray or anything.

Reynard · « **Reply #17 on:** August 29, 2007, 21:55:56 PM »

Glad Billy's ok, Dawn.

Pearl highly recommends the Angus beef mince as a suitable recovery diet.

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

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #14 on:** August 29, 2007, 19:12:26 PM »

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.

Millys Mum · « **Reply #13 on:** August 29, 2007, 17:44:57 PM »

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