So Scooter started peeing in places he shouldn't. We had him checked for UTI and that came back negative. Vet said his last four teeth were showing redness around the gums and that could be causing him pain and explain the peeing. So we got the teeth pulled, and all was well for about 5 days. Then he started holding his jaw open kinda weird right before his checkup... Turns out his lower jaw had broken, likely because of the extraction weakening the bone where the tooth used to sit. Ok, another surgery to wire the lower jaw back together. We had a vacation planned and he would barely eat for the pet sitter so he lost 2lbs and got an infection because the medicine was in the food that he wouldn't eat. Once we got home and took him for a shot of antibiotics and steroids, he bounced back and is now eating with a vengeance and the infection cleared up overnight. He had been drooling and it was matting his fur but after I cleaned him up and got him the shots, he's looking happy and healthy and no longer drooling. Wire comes out next Monday and hopefully this will be the end of all his troubles.
