[Gpdd] HEALTH: Re: HEALTH: Callie's update

[Lynn Williams]

Hi Sandy,

It's OK.  I know you did your best.  Don't even get me started on the 
govrnment.... this is a family friendly list!  LOL

I am a bit concerned about something I am noticing with Callie.  Ever since 
the vet filed down her incisors, she is making a strange scratchety sound 
when she grinds her teeth.  She is still eating and taking very small bites 
and chewing slowly. The vet has been in her mouth twice now and surely she 
would know if something was wrong?  Her weight is still fluctuating but not 
getting above 32.1 oz.  I have her in her own pen in the living room with me 
so I can monitor her poops and her eating.  I put a bowl down with her favs 
in it and I noticed she wasn't eating it on her own. But, if I pick her up 
and hand feed herm she shows some interest in the food.  I can't figure it 
out.

Ann gave me the name of a vet who is a good way from here but she thinks he 
may be able to refer me to a vet in my area.  I am going to have to call him 
on Monday and if not open, try him on Tuesday.  I have got to get her to a 
good vet who is willingn to listen to me and look at other options besides 
what has been drilled into their head in school.

Still keeping my fingers crossed here....

Hugs, love and whisker kisses,
Lynn, Callie & Eve with Sammy, Tabby & Penny the guide dog at the bridge and 
in our hearts and menories.
