[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']So really I wanted to know what people thoughts were on my situation. I got two 2month old chins for Christmas just gone, after having them for a week I noticed one looked a bit, well, worn/scruffy and thin. I took them to their free health check and the vet informed me that his lower jaw felt deformed basically. I took him in the next day for them to look further and it turned out he had a tooth that had grown into his cheek and a laceration on his tongue. They filed the tooth down and asked me to go back in three days (Friday this week) he was eating bits so I thought he was on the road to recovery but this morning he was very limp and looked very unwell so I took him back to the vet, the vet said that basically it’s all or nothing and that we could try to get him to turn a corner but we could end up back at the vets every couple of months or we could put him to sleep. I choose to have him put to sleep it has broken my heart and I keep thinking what if I had tried but on the other hand with him being so young and already having a severe tooth problem would I be causing him stress and pain just to keep him alive, if he was in the wild he would be dead by now... just absolutely gutted[/FONT]
