I'm worried about Rosie.

I am having a problem with the scanner and the Xrays. After I scanned them I realized that they aren't scanning right. I can clearly see thing on the xRay with my eyes (like Rosie's incisors) that are not showing up on the scan. I'm trying to work this out, it might take a little while longer.

This is the view from the chin upwards. The vet pointed out some areas that are supposed to be more black that aren't - part of his sinuses and inner ears.

This is the best I could do with my scanner. On the actual X-Ray you can see his incisors and you can also see a darker 'lumpy' area under the chin where the abcess is. It is clearly not near his jaw bones.

- ...what, what, what?
With transparent things like x-rays and ultrasound films, I've had far better luck taping them up to a sunny window (or other even light source) and taking a picture with the digital camera.
You might want to try that, I got much better contrast and detail when I did that.

Ok, we are going to try the liquid acetaminophen by mouth twice a day (half the 1mg dose at a time). I am trying to tape the XRays to a monitor to see if I can take a picture of them, and have that work out any better.
Lynx, can you please edit my previous post and make those two X-Rays links? I don't want to cram this page with terrible pics that have to upload each time. The new Xrays I will just load the links for. Thanks.

- You can quote me
For what it's worth, one of ours has received 1 mg of Tylenol a day for over a year and a half, with no ill effect (that I can tell -- liver problems don't manifest clearly as I understand it). It has helped him tremendously.
If your liquid acetominaphen is 1 mg/ml, one ml = one cc and 0.5 cc twice a day would equate to what we were prescribed.

Okay. I taped the X-Rays to my monitor and used a digital camera (thanks for the suggestion!!). These are definitely NOT perfect but I think they are better than the previous links. I played around with my monitor brightness and the whitepoint and light settings on the camera to get what I felt to be better overall looks at these Xrays.
This link is blown out but it shows the "soft tissue" area below his chin. There is a dirt speck on the Xray just to the right of it. This area is where the mass is, below the jaw. The vet feels that it's not involving any of the teeth, or the jawbone itself. That it's located directly in the center between the angular jaw bones, in the soft tissue.

This one is a better overall shot, but you can't see the soft tissue mass as well. Do Rosie's Roots look elongated, or normal?
