Dental (( Update bottom post))
I took Bud in today for a dental. The last 2 days he did not want his dry food, just ate the canned on top. They are doing a full health profile as well. I always worry when a Collie does not eat ...

Well Bud Had to have Oral Surgery. Bud had a infected tooth below the gum line.
The infection had caused a lot of bone loss as well. The vet said without the X-ray he didn't know if he would have caught it. He showed me the pictures and the tooth they dug out, not pretty. The tooth above the gum line looked fine. The infection was on one of the two roots on the tooth.
The rest of the comprehensive profile all looked good. They said it would take a few days to heal. They said Bud had to be in pain as well. VERY grateful for the vet. Bud looked like a drunk sailor walking. He's sleeping now. I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year.
