Sorry hubby took over the pc when we got home so I didn't get a chance to post an update.
While we were waiting I thought I'd weigh her.. At 9 months old she weighs 102.8 pounds. So my scale is off by 2-3 pounds.
Well....Appare
ntly her breath is not that bad.. to my vet. haha. He checked her lymph nodes (sp), her teeth and looked down her throat. Nothing abnormal. So either it went away on it's own or what smells bad to me is normal to him. LOL He said that we could sedate her and check farther down her esophagus with a scope but he didn't think it was necessary. He also mentioned kidney disease could cause bad breath too. But she didn't have any of the other major symptoms.
The raised spot in the roof of her mouth isn't an abcess. He said she was probably born with it and it's nothing to worry about. He also manipulated her jaw and he's said it feels normal and moves normally. She just has a bad bite. Her adult teeth came in slightly offset. No fixing that unless we pull out all her teeth. haha
And the tongue issue I was freaking out over is nothing more than her tongue is too long! What's even funnier is that hubby had mentioned that to me and I thought he was on dope. LOL But when the vet pushed her tongue back in her mouth it folded behind her front teeth and she pushed it right back out.
He's said it's actually quite common.. that's a new one to me. The times where she seems to lack control of her tongue he said is probably from her biting it. But he made note of it her file so we are going to keep an eye on it.
So needless to say I feel like a tool. Talk about a paranoid mom. haha.Â
He mentioned also as we were getting ready to leave that he's seen some really bad tempered Saints lately.
It's sad what byb's are doing to the breed. But he did comment on how sweet Lola was, so I was happy. She's came a long way since we brought her home.
