Wilbur went to the vet to be mangled yesterday. At least, I'm sure that's how he would describe it.
He had one wiggly molar, and a bump inside the skin on his left wrist. The vet had said the bump was nothing when she did his check-up two weeks ago, but when she found the wiggly tooth, we decided to get rid of the bump as well as the tooth.
They called me when they'd removed the one tooth, to say that the same one on the other side really ought to go, too, and when I picked him up, it turned out that the tooth behind the first one "just fell out" when they took it out, so he now has three fewer teeth than on Thursday. None of this is visible to the casual observer. I suppose that missing teeth in front would be better for his rap career, or maybe not. I'm not really up on the details of this.....
But here is his leg. Surely these big black sutures are the proper sort of embellishment?
He has licked it quite a lot, but, thank goodness, has not messed with the sutures (which cost $6 for four, ai-yi-yi!).
He's letting it be, now. What a good boy.
He is on amoxycillin twice a day, tramadol twice a day (pain killer), and his regular twice-a-day antihistamine. He's not supposed to eat any hard food for a few more days. I'm trying to be verrrrry careful stuffing pills exactly in the middle of his mouth/throat, so I don't touch any owie bits.
It's always something..............
