The vet visit went good. His tongue is fine. Don't ask me what I saw, I can only explain it by being up all night. His teeth are not aligned properly. The bottom teeth were trimmed and will need trimming every couple of months. She thinks that may be why he doesn't have bowel control because he's not able to eat right. She is very optimistic about it. Just in case, I asked at what point would he be suffering. She said that if I can't keep him clean and he starts getting sores on the pads of his feet from being in poo all the time, then I would need to have him put to sleep. I'm really having a tough time keeping him clean on the fleece so I'm going to switch him back to shavings. I'm having to bathe him frequently with just water. I would like to thank you all for helping me get my head screwed on straight this morning. I temporarily lost my mind. We stopped and picked up a camera. I'll take some pics of Rover and try to post them.
