Oh guys .. Monty has a bad gum ! : (

First topic message reminder :

I got him up for the toilet this morning, and for a split second I thought his snout was swollen, I dismissed it and put it down to my sleepy eyes.

My mum text me today to say she thinks Monty may have an abcess, he didn't com out of his bed until 10 this morning !! She assured me he has been playful, eaten and drank well today .. I've come home now and I feel so sad ! See the pics below.

The only thing I can think of, he was licking the inside of a Muller Yoghurt (left overs) pot last night, and he ripped it to shreds, so the sides were quite sharp, and he has cought his gum. I don't know whether to see if it heals over night, or take him up the vet where they'll charhe me god knows what ! He won't let me touch his snout.

Now it's been seen to it'll probably go down really quickly. He'll be feeling tons better, too!

Shame your purse is tons lighter now, though!

Great news, glad all is ok with him. Fingers crossed it heals before saturday! Suppose £78 isn't too bad to know he is sorted, poor boy!

Kinda glad it was only £78, I was expecting it to be alot more .. but then I did have the worst of scenarios going through my head .. x-rays, keeping him in, the lot ! I'm such a worrier, it does me no good

wow such good news,he will be running around and driving you mad soon

Awwwww,bless him! Sending gentle cuddles and hope he recovers quickly x

Thank you all

Good to hear that he is on the mend. Hopefully he will start to feel better.

Which vet do you use Maria. We use pets at home at the moment, well Tinkerbell has only been there fro vaccinations. But they seem quite expensive, not sure of others round here as there isn't that many about!

Hi everyone,this is Maria's mum and Monty's carer when Maria is in work
Monty is much much better now and yeah running around as usual.
Only thing is he thinks he can still cwtch up on the bed after he has eaten and be pampered by all lol.
When I got up this morning he was in Maria's bed he picked his head up from her pillow looked at me as if to say ...yawnnnn too early yet and put his head back down on the pillow lol.
I went down stairs and made him his breakfast (scrambled egg) ghees he was up like a flash .
after a play about downstairs he creeps onto the stairs and starts to go up to Maria's bedroom...our parrot Charlie looks at him and say Monty DOWN!!! LOL Charlie is so comical he calls Monty and whistles for him when he is sleeping and poor Monty is looking everywhere for who is calling him.
I just want to thankyou all for all the advise you have given Maria ...she was really worried and took great comfort in all your kind words and advise...thankyou soooo much

Glad to hear he is getting back to his old self and that there is no serious problem
