Potential Dental problems brewing - Sampson

Update

Well it has been quite a long week and a bit of a roller coaster with Sampson.
Sampson has been to see Simon Maddox whilst at Debbie's and it appears that his teeth were actually in pretty good health. Tiny bit long at the back because he has been eating less - which Simon fixed whilst he was examining.

But he has lost some more weight and Simon could feel enlarged lymph nodes all over so that is not good. So basically Samspon is fighting something but we are not sure what - could be bacterial infection, could be leukemia or similar etc.
So more tests are needed but it is all a bit scary at the min.

All the help and advice I have been receiving is just amazing - there is a strong network out there!

Any healing vibes would be welcomed for Sampson.:) He is a little fighter - as witnessed by Debbie;)
 
Sorry to hear this, lets hope whatever Sampson is fighting is treatable. Healing vibes his way x
 
oh no, if you dont mind me asking, where are the lymph nodes? are they like on the tummy? i wonder if this is what stan has?

I am so sorry that you are going through this, and Sampson too and we will be keeping all our fingers and paws crossed and sending huuuuuuge healing vibes.

Is he staying with Debbie whilst they found out?

Hi dlpl. I think the easiest way to describe lymph nodes is to relate to human version - you know when you have a bad cold or really sore throat, you often can feel lumps high up on your neck. People says 'my glands are up'! They are busy producing white blood cells to go off and fight the infection. They are found dotted around the body eg below jaw, armpits and I know in piggies, behind the knees somewhere.

Not sure about tummy lumps - So stan has had a biopsy of a lump?
