My 3 year old Pooh Bear is picking at his food with his front teeth (his salad)
like he really wants to eat, but can't. He gets it to his mouth an drops it.
The exotic vet put him on sulfa drug first and critical care food. I was doing that for four days...then she decided to check his mouth more carefully and only found that his molars may be too sharp for him and filed them down. He still isn't eating on his own. He tries. I am exhausted from syringe feeding him. What else could it be? He seems a little better than 4 days ago, and is right now walking
around my living room, but he is not eating and I'm afraid he will die. Any
ideas? Does he maybe not realize his teeth are ok now? She checked for
abscesses etc. also.
I give him fresh squeezed OJ and cranberry juice and pureed red pepper to
keep up the vitamin c.
