Leeanne writes ....Meet Little Pearl...... This little old girl is a Welsh Fox Terrier, 12 + and sadly bereaved of her elderly owner. Caroline of Orfee wonderfully fostered the little lass until we could squeeze her in and did a super job at assessing her needs. Pearl has a huge mouth solid mass. It is what happens when the tarter is not cleaned and a benign growth just becomes solid. Our vet has tried a special injection therapy actually into the lump ... bless her, she was so brave. The injections were about 10 each time, with a light anaesthetic, antibiotic and steroid mix. Honestly, I didnt know whether to laugh or cry as I held her down - she looked like a mystic munchkin from outer space .... but you know ... it has helped ... amazing. She also has a little open mouth tumor that is not removable either and sadly bleeds. Both of these make eating messy and difficult ... but we have found that grated cheese makes it all worthwhile ... bless her. I also inject meat juices and vitamins to aid her basic needs. Mouthwashes are constant, and cuddles are her mainstay. I am not sure she will be with us too long .. but by jove we will have a messy and fun filled Christmas! Welcome Perly x Leeanne, Mike & Puddings
