I am taking her to an internist on Monday, and also plan to call Monday morning to the veterinary dentist office near here to get her an emergency appointment if necessary. I want to talk to the internist first, in case there is something going on with that lymph node in her chest, but I am thinking more and more that it is her teeth (and hoping that is what it is). She is extremely playful, back to jumping some after I got food into her (maybe she was weak from not having much food in her), and very happy. She also tries to eat a little piece or lick and then just licks her mouth and lips. When she plays and bites on whatever she is playing with, she does the same thing with her mouth. So I am starting to think her gums just hurt a lot. I also read that protein in the urine can come from bad gum infections. Michelle

When bailey's stomastisis was at it's worse he was losing weight, he didn't stop eating completely but he was eating much less that was OK, and after he had lost about a pound over a month or so is when I decided none of the other things we were trying were working and we pulled his teeth. Bad teeth can cause serious infections, and if it is bad enough probably hurts enough to make eating painful. I know a tooth ache is one of the few things I can't tolerate well and I have a very high pain tolerence. Are you planning on getting her teeth cleaned soon? >>
