hey everyone i’m new to this site, i’m just really worried about my baby who’s 12 years old. he had 2 owners prior to me and recently i got him tested because he was always getting infections and parasites easily. he tested positive for ADV. the vet said that at he probably had it since birth and is a carrier. he always eats great (except when his mouth hurts) and is very active and alert. the vet recommended we go through with a dental procedure to clean out his mouth because it was really bad and hopefully it will stop the infection (he had a lot of calcium build up). i’m just hoping i made the right decision trusting my vet, because i don’t want him to go through any unnecessary pain, but if it extends his life and makes it better than i think it’s worth it. i’m just worried about the healing process. he’s been waiting up every now and then from his drug nap and licks his mouth like it hurts.. is there anything i can do to comfort him? anything that i should look out for? he does have a little drool with a slight red hue to it. i’m hoping that’s normal. sorry to trouble you all with this, he just means the world to me and it hurts me so much to see him in pain
its been about 4 hours since i picked him up from the vet all drugged up, so i’m hoping maybe it will be better tomorrow.. praying i made the right decision for him
