We have noticed over the last week that his mouth on one side seems to be turning white and underneath his jaw has become discoloured to a sort of white colour. Any ideas on what this might be? we have heard of bacterial infections causing things like this, my only concern is that he is so weak and the vets are an hour away, obviously if he has to go again then I will take him, I just dont really want them to put him to sleep as we have been treating him every night for the past 5 months and every so often shows some small signs of improvement.
