Taro has been getting periodic molar trim every 3 months. He usually recovers quickly and eats on his own.
However, this last trim, he never fully recovered. He still has trouble eating/paws at his mouth/has saliva in his mouth (not drooling to the chin). I took him in to see Dr. Tom Greek in Yorba Linda and he checked his teeth. Everything looks good (no spurs, abscess or spikes). I insisted on full body x-rays. Nothing is abnormal. No root elongation. Everything looks good. I tested for Giardia. Negative.
He definitely has trouble eating. He paws at his mouth. It sounds like there is saliva in his mouth. He has been losing a lot of weight (420 from 460) although I've been handfeeding him 60cc a day and metacam for pain. I'm just so lost.
What are other causes of trouble eating/excess saliva in the mouth and trouble eating/no appetite?
