Karamia

Poor fuzzy baby! As some of you know Karamia is our 9 year old puppy whom we adopted as our own 4 years ago, and until this past summer was our only child. Kara has been suffering from mouth problems for a long time and we have tried many ways to make her feel better. About a week and a half ago she wouldn't take a treat or her prized chicken jerky, and DM could not get her mouth open for one of her pain meds so it was time to visit Dr. Tom. Though the good Dr. couldn't fit her in one of his partners at the vet clinic could on Tuesday and boy oh boy our poor baby had lots to deal with. DM brought her back in for surgery on Wednesday morning and off to work we went. We waited all day to hear the out come and all in all it wasn't the best news, but it will still be okay. Her dental health had been neglected for many years and she had her 1st cleaning and 8 teeth pulled about 3 years ago. Yesterday she had 3 pulled and one of which seems to have been the major culprit as far as pain was concerned. The worst of all is that the worst tooth had its roots in her sinuses and that had caused bone decay because of the bacteria and could be the cause of the constant sneezing and pain. There were a number of other tests run to check her health and we hope that all of them come back clean. Please think of our fuzzy baby for us as you know she is apart of our little family and we love her very much.
