Well up early with Max to go to the Vet Dentist with a CD of Xrays and his full chart. He was a little disturbed at not eating or drinking water since last night and knew something was up because he walked right into his carrier.
The ride was about 45 minutes and he was quiet the whole time- normally he talks to me all the time. The vet looked at the xrays and Max's mouth and pronounced that all the teeth had to go and Max might have cancer of the jaw- talk about a punch in the face- good lord.
He didn't do well under anesthesia last week and this was going to be a 3 1/2 hour surgery. The vet took about 30 minutes going over everything so here we go. I said goodbye to my 13 year old buddy to wait at home for a phone call. The vet called at 11 and said that from the looks of it Max doesn't have cancer but wanted to biopsy the bone and tissue anyway- hey in for a dime in for a $$$$$$$. After 4 hours I got the call that everything went well and Max was awake and doing fine. I'll pick him up tomorrow. I guess he will be on wet food from now on. His new name will be Gummy- LOL
