I think (I'm certain) Meg has a tooth abscess.
She has a swelling under her right eye and if you gently poke your finger along the gum in comes out quite smelly, and he breath is smellier and different than usual. She is very stoic and carrying on like there's nothing, but she'll squeak if she catches herself when scratching her face or if you accidently catch it in rough petting (she loves a vigorous ear-flap, we have stopped this for now).
We have an appointment tomorrow at 9:15 with vet James, I don't know him. I am dreading it. I can't see how they can examine her! And then what if she needs an extraction? I just can't think how she or the vet staff will cope.
Meg is carrying on as usual, playing tug and chase and play fighting with Coco. She is happy because I have stopped using her head collar. This has been a plus out of the whole situaton, I am finding she is easier to handle now on her flat collar and harness, though we haven't seen other dogs on our walk (this is when she will lunge like mad).
