I just got back from the vets; They gave me a big discount because they knew I couldn't afford it.
They vet said he has a bacterial infection, and that he didn't seem to have any respiratory problems.
The vet really shocked me when he told me LG has circulation problems. The blood is not reaching the end of his tail all the way. I asked what can I do, and he said NOTHING. I asked if there were certain foods that could help, or soaking him, and he said NO.
He weighted him (7oz) and prescribed Baytril in 0.1 mL doses. He gave me 10 doses worth.
I am really worried about his tail; The doctor said it would shrivel up and die if theres no blood reaching it, but he won't suggest any remedies for this.
It was a cheap vet visit, I am wondering if he sped me through the office because I wasn't paying full price...
He said that he probably has had some lifelong condition that has stunted his growth. His sibling may have picked up on that, he continued, and that's why they tried to eat him to behin with; Because they could sense his weakness.
There is no rubber jaw he said, and the deformation in his mouth most likely happened early on and has not progressed.
I just don't know what to say. My brain hurts right now. This is so much stress that is just adding on to the big ball of worries that I've been carrying around.
Anyone who wants to chime in at this point go for it... Just know that everyone is giving me opposing information, so I really just don't know what to do.
