Update: Odin had dental last week (his molars were elongated and had ulcerated and infected his cheek). Today I took Odin on a road trip to see a specialist in Cheshire for a second opinion following his dental last Tuesday; who was very good with him. He’s had a bit more sedation, full dental X-rays done and another check of his mouth.
the vet said he can’t see anything wrong with his teeth and that roots look good on the X-rays. He said there are now no signs of infection or ulcers.
Odin is very bright in himself, gets very excited for his syringe feed and will nibble the odd bit of watermelon. But I still can’t get him to eat hay or other veggies?
he does have a very sore chin (the vet thinks this was caused by the excess saliva before his dentals). I have some treatment for this from the vet. I wonder if this is the only reason he won’t eat?
so I’m still syringing every few hours (even through the night). I’m exhausted (but will do this forever if I have to). Problem is I have to go back to work in a few weeks. I really wish there was a way to get him eating again ( I’ve even bought him three different types of expensive hay, herbs, dandelion, and his favourite veggies to try tempt him). Sometimes he shows interest, grabs the food, but then tosses his head and gives up
