Broken puppy tooth

[Selina27]

Aww, poor babba! That looks quite a procedure, clever vets. Hope she's soon home safe and sound.

 

[Atemas]

Gosh it does seem complex. Bet you will be pleased when she is home and on the mend

poor little girl

Bless poor little Otter. Poor you Kate you must be in bits xxxxx

 

[Boogie]

Get well soon little Otter

Otter is home and a bit spaced out. She has flopped on Benson's bed and he is keeping a careful eye on her. She has a few stitches in, on soft food for I think 10 days. Lead walks only (lead walks????) Back for a post-op check tomorrow lunchtime, then seeing the dental vet in a weeks' time. The Xrays are very interesting, you can see clearly the adult teeth so will get some photos and post next week

 

[Charlie]

That's a relief. Good boy Nurse Benson xxx Hope Otter feels better very soon. xx

 

[HAH]

Little sausage, glad it all went well. They’ve really done it properly, hopefully this’ll mean no complications for her growing adult gnashers. What a kerfuffle for you, I hope the R&R goes okay... x

Aw, poor little lady! I hate how out of sorts they can be after a GA. Lots of extra cuddles for you this evening, little pupster x

 

[Cath]

Glad she is at home where she will be happy with her gang.

Those glass models are fascinating.

Pleased to hear all went well. I must’ve missed the post about why she needed it out via an operation rather then just let it fall out?

Otter's lower canine was fractured close to the gumline. The pulp was exposed, allowing a conduit for infection. The problem with damaged puppy teeth, especially canines with their long roots is this sort of damage disrupts the natural development of the underlying tooth bud. In addition, dentine and enamel can also be damaged by dysfunctional development due to infection.

Aw poor little Otter, who knew so much was invoked with taking out a broken baby tooth. I just assumed they would pull it out and be done with it.

Relieved to read she is back at home and on the mend if a little bit loopy. No idea how you are going to manage the 'lead walks only' bit, but if anyone can figure it out, you can.

Hugs to baby Otter from the Scary Lady.

Poor lamb , but I have a feeling she will be bouncing around very soon , lead walks eh ?

 

[Beanwood]

I don't think lead walks will walk tbh...we will just potter quietly round the garden together and sit watching the butterflies...

Benson and Otter looking a bit weirded out....Otter is on Benson's bed

Glad it all went well. Sounds like the vet did a great job.

 

[Granca]

Glad it’s over and has gone well. I’m just trying to imagine the pottering ‘round the garden quietly’!
