Hi, I need some advice
I have a Thai ridge back puppy, approx. 5 months old (we aren't exactly sure of his age as he is a rescue puppy), and he has suddenly stopped eating & playing and he sleeps all the time.
We have had him to the vet on several occasions, but they don't have any answers, & keep giving him different medications that aren't helping.
Note: We are in Thailand & the vets are not like north American vets. They have limited resources.
I believe that he is in pain due to his teeth coming in. Normal dogs chew when they teeth, but he won't even eat soft food. His teeth seem to be coming in close together and in some cases, they are coming in next to one another (towards his tongue).
I don't know that this is the real problem, but since the vets have no solution here, I need some outside advice.
Thanks!
