.. a post vacation shake down ..


so we both made it home by sunday. we were both jet lagged and so tired. we had gone over to visit cody's parent and say hi and show them pictures, i will post those later.. and jet just went to play. he got a hold of a bottle and started chewing away. the week before we left for rome jet chipped his tooth. we aren't sure on what but he fractured the surface of it. the vet said it was nothing to worry about and that he would be just fine, we just needed to stay away from hard things and keep him healthy. no big right? 

well later that night we were having family dinner and jet was at his usual spot, begging for food. all of a sudden i noticed that his head started to shake. and he couldn't control it. i told cody and we waited and watched, nothing. after dinner we cleaned up and got comfy to watch a movie with the fam and all of a sudden he was shaking uncontrollably and he was so uncomfortable. we hurried and called the vet. we ended up driving down there and meeting the vet at his office at 9:40 at night. blah. 


the vet checked him out, gave him a shot of doggie Valium and told us to watch him for it to happen again in the next 24-48 hours. if it didn't happen again he thought it was that tooth. that he had irritated the nerve enough to cause muscle twitches. so we went home and to bed and watched him the whole next day, he was fine. just a dang tooth. so we have to try and keep him from doing the no no biting and make it to his three year checkup where they clean teeth and just have it pulled at the same time. oh boy we have a long 2 years ahead.
