Please Pray for Our Darling Toby
« on: September 29, 2009, 01:10:12 AM »
& for us to give hs the strength to make the right decision.
We are on holiday in Dorset and had to take the little man to the vets today due to a swelling on his face ?infection or bruising from his last seizure on Friday evening.
Then this evening, about 10pm, (though technically it was yesterday now looking at the time) he started "mouthing" and his face was shaking. This is his his seizures start but one did not come. There was also a strange grinding noise.
We thought he might have something stuck in his mouth but we can't feel anything. Early in he seemed to try to free something whth his paws but not done this recently. The strangest thing is he is calm. Lieing down, dozing and relaxed.
It now appears like he has lockjaw. Mouth slightly open and he doesn't appear to be able to open or close it. We are sitting with him and carefully observing him but we really do fear the worse. With all his other problems we cannot put him through anything else so we will just sit & wait.  :'( :'(

Do you think he might have dislocated has jaw when he yawned? I would have thought that was more likely than lockjaw.

Do take him to a local vet tomorrow if he still can't close his mouth. It may not be as bad as you fear.

I will be thinking of Toby, and you.
