Tomo Update

Friday I took Tomo to the vet dentist in Dallas. My friend, Lisa, was kind enough to take off a day ot work to come with me. After dropping her off, we went out to lunch and after about an hour, I received a call on her condition.

After taking some more precise x-rays, the doctor saw that there were no root fragments left over and that what the last doctor's x-rays had shown was just a massive swelling. Tomo's problem? Feline acne. That's right. Tomo has zits. Apparently, Tomo's acne on her chin became infected and made the inside of her mouth swell. Since she'd had a tooth pulled in that area before, we just assumed that the problem originated inside.

Tomo did have a biopsy of the area to rule out cancer and is taking a series of antibiotics. Her swelling has gone down and she seems like she's back to her normal, fat self.
