Moki - Excessive Drooling

Well, momma bean was hoping to avoid this, but it looks like she is going to have to take Moki to the vet. While he has been doing good these past few weeks, yesterday he started acting kind of strange. He was slightly lethargic and drooling. Momma bean chalked it up to the warmer weather making him slightly dehydrated so she gave him some sub-q-fluids last night and waited until this morning to see how he was doing. This morning he was still acting a little under the weather, so she gave him some more sub-q-fluids. She was going to make an appointment with the vet today, but within an hour or so after giving him the sub-q-fluids, Moki started to perk up and was acting normal again, so she didn't worry too much about it. As of tonight, he is drooling and acting lethargic yet again. Some thing is not right and momma bean isn't sure what is going on. Momma bean did open Moki's mouth and his tongue looks slightly swollen. She may have to take him to the ER tonight if things get any worse. In the meantime, we ask that everyone please pray that whatever is going on, that it is nothing serious...After having just ordered more sub-q-fluids we are down to our last $30.00 in Moki's medical fund, and momma bean doesn't get her financial aid check for another couple of weeks, so if anyone can spare a dollar or two to help out with Moki's medical cost once again, we would greatly appreciated it. As always we will post a copy of his medical bill here on his blog after his appointment...

Thanks in advance for all your purs and support...

UPDATE:

Moki made it through the night ok. He slept curled up contently in my arms the whole time. At the moment he's not eating much and is rufusing to drink, but his physical appearance and attitude seem to be normal. So for now, we are going to continue to keep an eye on him until we can get an appointment to have him checked out by the doctor.

2nd UPDATE:
Momma bean needs some advice and she would really like your opinions. After calling the vet, momma bean learned that Moki's regular doctor, the one who is retiring, will not be in the office until Friday. The new doctor who bought the practice can see Moki before then if we want to give him a shot. Momma's concern is that the new doctor being unfamiliar with Moki's case, may miss something or send us down a direction we really need not go simply because he is unfamiliar with Moki's medical file. However in the same breath, waiting until Friday to get Moki checked out is an awfully long time, so momma bean isn't sure what she should do and would like your feedback as to what choice you would make.

3rd Update
Ok, momma bean went ahead and scheduled an appointment for Moki with the new doctor for 3:00 p.m. tomorrow afternoon. This way Moki can get seen sooner rather than later. Then if the new doctor doesn't work out for whatever reason momma bean can call and speak to Moki's regular doctor, the one who is retiring on Friday...So thats the game plan for now...
