day 131

My poor dog Hershey has what I think is an abscess tooth. Over the weekend it was a small bump on the side of her muzzle. This morning... holy cow! It was swelled up like crazy. She was really too swollen for the vet to tell exactly what the problem was. She had a shot of some antibiotics this morning and will go in for a dental cleaning and possible extraction tomorrow. Other possibilities are an insect bite or a tumor, though neither seem too likely at this point. Prayers for my pup would be greatly appreciated. She's almost 11 so being put under is a bit of a risk and I'm pretty worried about her.
