[Gpdd] health - Cocoa

[Suzy Dünser]

Well, I'm very, very sorry to say that I think my next post is not  
going to be titled "health." I just read a thread on the guinea lynx  
forum where Pinta said a few times that the chin sling only helps if  
the problem is that the jaw muscles are weak, not if the cartilage is  
damaged or something else is going on. I didn't see anything that gave  
me any encouragement about fixing a dislocated jaw. I have another  
half hour before I have to leave to go to the vet's, so I'll be  
reading everything I can until then.

The other thing about the chin sling, apart from whether it's even  
appropriate in this situation, is that it's not that straightforward  
to use, and Pinta stresses that you have to use it under a vet's care.  
I will mention it to the vet when I go, and see what he says.

Till later,
Suzy (I can't even write "with Rocky and Cocoa" without crying.)
