Talbot had his dental last thursday. He had a tooth removed and another root that had surfaced drilled down.
He was fine afterwards, did not seem to be in too much pain. He ate normally. I've been giving him bup 2x a day, 12 hours apart. The bup dose from last night and this morning could have been expired. I'm not sure if I put the bup in an older container when I was traveling or if it was part of the newer script. I know the previous doses were good though. He's also on clavamox 2x a day.
This morning he seemed a bit down, not interested in doing anything. He hasn't eaten today that I have seen. He sort of stares off into space, although he will look at me. He's making mouth movements sort of like he's nauseated but not quite the same. I'm wondering if he's feeling the stitch in his mouth from the tooth removal.
No throwing up yet so I'm hoping this will pass and it's not pancreatitis. I took his temp and it was 100.4 so they don't feel it's an infection.
I called the vet but neither of his vets were in today. The vet I talked to recommended stopping the clavamox and bup and see what happens. She also recommended giving 100 ml of fluids, which I have on hand and can do. I don't feel as comfortable with this vet. She said he didn't even need insulin tonight if he was under 300! Otherwise I'm to give 1/2 a dose. He's on lantus so that doesn't seem like good advise. His regular vet will be in tomorrow AM so I can bring him in then if necessary.
I'm a little nervous about the way he's feeling.
