My Fish Has A White Lump On There Head

Brief History of Candy


Beatrice She writes, the "mother" of adoptive candy, the history of events since his last live with you in Tuscany. I can only bring back his words and by using them to seek help for this treasure of a dog, so lucky for adoption wonderful with his brother, Poldo (Sonny Nasorosa), so unfortunate for a jaw problems since had that 'incident with the network of the fence here with me ...

History of Candy ...

"Candy?" I say "Do not you ever answer to a name like that!"

But I wanted Did I leave that name , because it is part of its history ...

E 'Arri vata in company with his brother Poldo at the age of four months. From the beginning I was wondering why they always put the muzzle into the bowl, pushing hard on the bottom when he ate, with the result, among other things, always have jelly stuck everywhere, or because he drank only when the level water was quite high, sticking its nose into everything and making bubbles with my nose ... I figured the day, watching her best, I noticed that he kept his mouth tight right eye was weeping ...

That day, I have tried in vain to open her jaws, but she wept still more and his mouth like a steel vise. For nearly a week we fed pushing the jelly between your teeth, in the meantime we have x-rays that revealed something to the right side of the lower jaw. The difference between the right and the left is more than two cm .. Evidently Candy had suffered a recent trauma, perhaps playing with his brother, on a point already compromised, and this had exacerbated the problem. Following the tension has eased slightly sweet and can not open his mouth 2 cm . Can not eat too big of bites, but manages to eat enough, thanks to our help. We tried an orthopedist who could make a diagnosis before about Florence, then Rome, but the cost of a CAT scan up to 600 € ... Finally, a week ago, a clinic in Montecatini has offered to visit orthopedic complimentary candy. The doctor who has visited has been extremely careful, but he also needs further examination, radiography with a new anesthetic, a muscle biopsy and electromyography. All this to better understand what kind of bone lesion in the maxillary and there exclude a terrible disease, which unfortunately has the same symptoms that has candy, called MMM and is incurable and progressive degeneration of the muscles of the face.

addition, the head of candy hanging the sword of calcification: now has just over 7 months, but if left untreated, the natural calcification of his bones could block forever, that sweet face ... Some people suggested I consider having to break down, in future, for this risk ... I responded by saying that I also fed through a straw, if need be, but I was told that blocked the mouth would have had a much worse the inability to feed: the breath and perspiration would be compromised, not to mention the resulting infections and so on ...

I can not, I will not even think of having to suppress a beautiful creature, gentle, full of life and so young as you ...

Montecatini The clinic is willing to give us a substantial discount, it asks us only 270 € for the diagnostic tests ... but unfortunately, at this time for us even that figure is hard to find ...
