Update: November 14th,2009- Gingivitis

Well, I've noticed for the past couple of days that Noah's been salivating quite a bit, at first I thought it might just because I fed him too fast through the feeding tube and the food came up to his mouth...but I decided to check his mouth (gently of course as he still has the pins in), and found that the left side (non-injured side) upper canine's gum was quite inflammed! Then the gum near the lower left side canine was also inflammed and was bleeding a little.
I thought maybe it was because his baby teeth were growing in and causing this inflammation, but one of my vets had a look at him and thinks what he has were adult teeth~Therefore, he thinks Noah has a bad case of gingivitis. No antibiotics would help (because he was just finishing off the antibiotics from the surgery and they didn't help his teeth either), all I can do now is to monitor...maybe later on, he will need to have his teeth pulled out!

Noah's got the worst luck~~~
