So at Biscuits last post he had had dental work, then he seemed to be going up again. Took him back for a recheck and they told us he was healing fine. Still continued drooling and over next few weeks began slower eating. Took him back in Monday 6/22. They said he either has an abscess or maybe cancer in the mouth. They prescribed clindamycin 1 ml every 12 hours and Bupe 0.18 ml every 12 hours for pain.
So now it's thursday night, and his eating is still sluggish except for lunch today where he ate a full 3oz can (normally we feed him 4 times a day 1/2 a can at a time - but when he ate the first 1.5 really fast I gave him the rest and he ate 95% of it).... But his preshots have been trending down. and where normally I'd shot a 79 no problem, know he would eat some HC gravy if necessary.. I'm worried.
Should I do the full shot and hope he'll at least lick the gravy? I am also supposed to do his next pain meds and I worry those lower BG too. Right now I am right at shot time.
Thoughts?
