Anyone????

Thanks for the reply. And I know I miss my little man. I was unaware that the care between Jackson's and veileds are that way off. I however got my care info from pet smart so probably not the best way to get info ( including some research on line) and even so people would tell me all sorts of...

I have to feed my Cham antibiotics and vitamins by mouth since he has a mouth infection anyone have any ideas how to open up his mouth. im afraid ill irratate his mouth.

The vet said its a lack of vitamins and a slight mouth infection. Gotta give him a bunch of different meds for weeks. :(

He's doing good. He was given an antibiotic for calcium and for his immune system.
