Hi, I have an 11 year old yorkie who is my baby. Recently she stopped wanting to eat and started drooling and seemingly in pain. Took her to vet who gave her stomach meds which didn't really do much and after a few more days of not eating (I had to force baby food in her mouth and then nutri cal to prevent low blood sugar) I took her to ER vet. They ran expensive tests and pretty much also came to the conclusion that it was oral pain. However her kidney levels were a little high and her x ray showed a slightly enlarged liver which might be causing an infection and nausea even though liver numbers were normal. They gave me some antibiotics as well as gabapentin for her pain which will hopefully allow her to start eating again. She has a heart murmur and along with elevated kidney levels, she can't have a dental cleaning until she gets a cardiac work up which they can't do for another month. Anyone else deal with oral pain for dog with just gabapentin and antibiotics? Any other suggestions to get her to eat?
