Marika, you can make an appointment with James through the Ewa Beach Animal House - the link is in my post.

Our baby went through the same thing. I wish we’d had someone like James to help us with our girl. I agree with the suggestion of food being pureed until he no longer associates food with pain. He also could be in residual pain as well.

Even if one problem tooth was the main source, the cleaning alone could still be giving him issues. He’ll come around and until then just encourage him with soft food (if he eats dry, soak it in chicken broth until puffy) and smother him with love and smooches!

Wow, that sounds amazing. I had a dog that could not be anesthetized and her teeth became horrible. She eventually developed cancer and it started in the mouth. I always wondered if that was the cause of the cancer?? Anyway, here’s to Lance eating something soon and I’ll keep that vet’s name handy just in case.

I have a cat with major mouth issues. We feed him canned cat food mixed with milk in a blender, and he laps it up. Maybe you could find something liquid to blend with Lance’s food in a blender just as a re-introduction to food, at least to get nutrition in him. Maybe some chicken or beef broth blended in? Then you could gradually de-liquify until he’s back to normal eating habits. Good luck finding a solution that works for you and Lance.

Awww, what a pleasant experience for you and Lance. I have a special place in my heart for people like James. His caring and understanding of animals needs is a true gift.
