We had to take Scout to the vet this morning. His jaw had been trembling and has us quite concerned. My suspicion is that he has a bad tooth. If you rub his lower left jaw, he shakes pretty bad. Also, his breath is unusually smelly. So we called the vet up the street and Yun is now inside with him. I am waiting in the car. If I were to go in, the bill would likely be twice as high.

So 800 pesos and various blood tests later, Scout has returned. There is some sort of infection in his mouth which may also be in his throat. It could be attributed to a bad tooth, but the inflammation must be reduced first, so he’s on a prescription of medication for the next week. If all goes well, we’ll have his tooth looked into at the end of the week and pursue dental work if that is necessary.
