So after some weird sneezing and behaviour, I took Bree into the vet hospital in Aberdeen this morn. I knew if I got the local vet out they’d not have the equipment to look very closely and i’m glad I took her in as we ended up being there all morning!
First off, she has a respiratory ‘thing’ going on. Very swollen airways but at this point in time they aren’t sure if it’s a cold or an allergy. The vet also identified that some of her issues may be being caused by her wolf teeth , which were wobbly. She only had her teeth done 5 weeks ago and he EDT didn’t think they were causing much problem. So they got removed but it wasn’t a straight forward procedure - the vet thought they’d just whip out quickly but 1 of them was a wee devil and splintered.. leaving a tiny bit left in her gum that after 2 1/2 hours of sedation they said they would have to leave but assured me it would heal over fine and probably work it’s way out in the future.
As if this wasn’t enough for the poor girl, while they had the scope out anyway they scoped her for ulcers as she also been quite grumpy, biting at odd things (buckets, rugs that are hung up, doors, me!) and sensitive round her abdomen area. She also objects to our leg going too far back behind the girth. It was a very interesting thing to watch and it turns out she does have ulcers, but just grade 1. I could see them clearly on the screen and the area around them was very yellow and thickened. In answer to Wally’s question on the other thread, yes she is a stressy type but Ive no idea if it’s related. Since Ive had her she’s lived out with access to hay and is fed a small scoop of fast fibre so Im not doing anything to have caused them, although the vet is going to email me some more info about adding oils to the feed etc.
Poor girl will be getting some TLC for the rest of the day
