Maggie Update
Took her to the vet today, and apparently she's allergic to her own plaque and tartar! Not surprising, she has such a ferocious flea allergy that just one flea will have her itching and scratching so bad she rips out her fur all over her back and hind end, as far as she can reach.
So she's going Thursday to have her teeth cleaned. Poor girl, the insides of her mouth are inflamed and swollen all along where her teeth touch. It looks so painful! Dr. Hollingsworth gave her a cortisone shot and some antibiotics (Augmentin). I have to give her one a day until they're gone.
She will NOT be a happy camper, since she can't have anything to eat after 10 pm Wednesday night. But all she wants to drink... however, Maggie is a chowhound (as if weighing 17 lbs wasn't a clue), so I don't think I'll get a whole lot of sleep tomorrow night.
