I swear, this dog is going to send me to the poorhouse. Over the last two or three days she hasn't seemed quite herself, and for the last couple days she's been off her food which for her is a sure sign things are not going in a good direction. Yesterday she kept going to the water dish but not drinking, which also is not good. Though the vet was fully booked for the rest of the week when he learned it was me calling he agreed to see her in the afternoon.
Turns out Bina had an abscess under her tongue in the neck area. I'll spare you the details but after I made the call to the vet I checked on her and it was clear that something had just ruptured. The good news is that she started feeling better pretty much right after that. She's now on double antibiotics and we're hoping that will resolve it. If not, then next week he'll have to do exploratory surgery to see if he can find what he belives is probably a foxtail that burrowed into the skin in that region.
So, another $150+ later Bina has once again been to the vet. Sigh.
