devastated and worried for my girl
my girl has always had teeth issues. she had to have multiple removed a year or two ago due to becoming loose.
the last time i took her in about 5-6 months ago, i went to get her teeth cleaned but they had to instead extract a rotten tooth. they asked me to bring her back in within a few months to get her teeth cleaned due to gum hyperplasia.
well…took her into the vet today and the vet called and told me her hyperplasia has gotten much worse. my poor girls mouth was very inflamed. i had no idea as she has been running and eating just fine. vet was shocked she was still eating and running and within a normal weight range.
they are wondering if it is possibly cancer due to how severe it has gotten. if it is cancer and gets worse, they told me i might need to consider euthanasia down the road.
if not, either way, we are going to need to extract all her teeth.
i am devastated. we had a biopsy sent and will go pick her up soon. she will be on pain medication and antibiotics.
i am praying it is not cancer as i am not ready to even consider parting with her yet.
wish us both luck <3
