    Re: Second shed success

    Hey JodiLeigh I hope Manny gets better. May I ask how much was the vet bill? And did you find out how Manny got this infection?

    OOOOW ok!

    The rest of that message didn't show up when I read it first.

    I thought you were saying it as if it was a bad thing but phew!

    Sounds good and appears to be working.

    The swelling in his neck has gone down but looks pointy now :/ weird and the end of his tongue is white, is that normal with a mouth infection?

    It was £29.98 for the consultation alone then the antibiotics costs only £0.98p HA HA how silly is that!

    I don't know how he got it unfortunately, I hope it's not something bigger then just an infection.

    I don't see any way he could have broke a tooth or injured himself so unless I wasn't being as strict with the cleaning as I should I just don't know.

    Well, I don't like "splintery" substrates and yours looks splintery. When they burrow through it, tiny spinters have a way of finding their way into the mouth or "lip" area where they become lodged and cause infections. That's just one possibility. There could be something in there that you can't see, and/or was missed by the vet. possibly one of those tiny splinters.

    That's why I choose Carefresh available on Ebay. Soft warm and looks OK.
