Sully can no longer keep his lips closed, causing him to produce excess amounts of saliva. He gags on the saliva constantly. He can no longer eat from his food bowl and is experiencing great difficulty lapping water.
I am trying to comfort him by letting him slowly lick ice cubes, and hand feeding him kibbles of dog food. I have given him the anti-inflammatory and anti-biotic medications offered by the vet, but this has caused him to heave and show signs of nausea.
The information online states that dogs may see recovery in 4-6 weeks, but in some isolated cases recovery may take 4 months or more. I am trying to prepare myself for that possibility.
