I do agree she should be seen by a vet ASAP. Mare -------Original Message------- From: Peggy & The Girls Date: 3/3/2012 8:49:16 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] Can I give aspirin or Rimadyl Can you see if a tooth is rotten and if her gums are swollen? Beware that a swollen and sensitive mouth could also be that she is having a toxic reaction to something. Even a spider or bee sting, or if she ate a leaf from a household/outside plant, can cause the same reaction. So in this case I would not give her anything, but take her to a Vet asap and find out why her mouth is swollen. If it is a bad tooth she will need it out anyway to avoid any bacteria from going through her system, which would cause even more problems. Is it possible that maybe one of the other dogs could have accidently bit her lip during playtime? It maybe worth trying to really look at her mouth, she could even have a splinter of something on her tongue or lip or gum..... To many possibilities with a swollen mouth. She needs a Vet check. Please let me know what you decide and how she is doing. Peggy -------Original Message------- From: Carolyn M.

It's just like her cry when her leg pops. And I think her jaw is slightly swollen. I could be wrong, but her mouth is so sensitive right now.

If her pain is that bad, maybe you should run her to an emergency Vet? -------Original Message------- From: Carolyn M.

Can I give him a baby aspirin? Or what can I give him to relieve the pain until I can get him to the vet? Thanks, Carolyn
