Reply to Terri Riba's Post: Tooth was removed 4 weeks ago. Last tooth on the top. Samantha has all other teeth which were cleaned at the time of extraction. She is not sneexzinf or coughing and is eating well. I'm not sure of the name of the antibiolic it is at home but I can tell you it is green and white capsul.

Accepted Answer

Dear friend,

I am so sorry your baby is not feeling well.

Even though she has no top teeth she may have an abscess of her gum, sinus or a lower tooth root.

Your vet should immediately script a round of Clinadmycin for her.That antibiotic is best for tissue infections.

In the meantime, Samantha can have one ml per lb of her weight of benedryl every 8 hours.

Feed her soft food like canned or baby food with no onion powder,

Please let me know how your baby is doing. I hope she fees better very soon.

Sincerest best wishes,

Terri
