My poor Tolly boy has a tooth ache! I noticed the past couple days he is hiding when I am ready to give him medication, and now he doesn't want his canned food.
I took a bit of paper towel and gently rubbed his gum and it came away bloody.
So he will be getting kibble (he swallows it whole so it doesn't hurt his mouth) and I will be calling the vet in the morning to make an appointment for him to see the vet next week. I wish he didn't have to wait even that long, but they only see emergencies on Saturday, and while I know his mouth hurts, I don't think it's an emergency.
The worst part is the medicating. I hate doing things to him that hurt him. Sigh.....
