In Reply to: Niko and his poor, poor mouth... posted by Anna on February 22, 2002 at 11:34:29:

: Well, I've finally figured out exactly the consistency Niko needs to have his food be. Mush. literal mush. He's feeling better now that we've got him under some fresh UV, and he's pooping happily all over the carpets, but he's still resting with his mouth open sometimes. I've been flushing him with water. and I did a diluted betadine rinse inside his mouth (with a betadine soaked peice of cotton, held him upside down to be safe, and rinsed him out thoroughly afterwards). So now he's ticked at me, lol. He goes to the vet later on today to get that treated and to get de-parasitized and all that fun stuff, so if you can, take a moment today and pity poor Niko for all he has to undergo and get used to after not seeing a vet in all his seven years. Wish him luck!
