Lambies for Red please

[kateincornwall]

So pleased that Red is home, as it should be, bless her . Reubs had a scale and polish done a year ago , thankfully no extractions but his teeth had lots of tartar despite me brushing them at least three times a week . The Vet said that sometimes , poorer quality teeth can be hereditary , which is a shame xx

I'm glad she's home, sometimes the hardest part is when they aren't with you.

I'm sorry to hear she has more extractions in the future xx

Thank you again everyone for your lovely supportive comments. She is now home and resting. She will need at least two back teeth extracted in two months time. I will find out more at her post op check next week. Apparently her teeth are quite worn down - my thoughts - too many frozen kongs or ball play (she is ball obsessed)? Who knows? For now I am just relieved to have her here by me

Glad she is home, though sorry she has to have more out further down the line. I have heard that tennis balls can wear teeth down.

How is Red this morning

Thank you for asking Cath. She is very very quiet but apart from a couple of wee visits, she had a good night. She has to have restricted exercise for 48 hours and she can only have a little special food until tea time today

Glad you had a fairly peaceful night and hope Red feels recovered very soon. x

 

[MrChew]

Glad to hear Red is recovering well.

 

[Granca]

I hope Red continues to recover well.

So sorry you are worried about more extractions. I’ve also heard tennis balls wear down teeth—apparently the texture is like sandpaper on the teeth. My friend’s little Morkie has worn down her canines. Now she only uses rubber balls.

I’ve also heard tennis balls wear down teeth

I’ve made a note of things I want to ask the vet next week. Just need a plan going forward to protect her existing teeth. I keep telling myself not to stress - my daughter has a 10 year old greyhound (he’s an ex racer and came to them aged 3) - a few years ago he had to have 11 teeth out and he manages eating just fine. He does have horrible bad breath though

Post op check for Red this morning. Lovely vet nurse who answered all my questions. Red has to have the back two molars in her upper jaw removed at the end of October. This will be done at our local branch (I had to travel further for the one removed last week) by her usual vet. I am relieved it’s not more as I was told last week it could be. Her gum has healed well where the loose tooth was.

Tennis balls are a no no (as you said @M.F. they are like sand paper in the mouth) - rubber ones are better.

I asked her to look at the shaved patch on her leg as we both noticed it was very red yesterday. I was tempted to put Sudocrem on it yesterday but thought I better wait. The vet nurse went off and checked with the vet who advised sudocrem! If it gets worse then we have to go back for something stronger. I haven’t seen Red lick it at all …..but it’s possible she is at night. A cone might be necessary - I hope not.

i didn’t have to pay at today’s consultation as it’s included in last week’s fee. I also have a rough idea of the cost of Stage 2. Red is no longer insured so I am very mindful of costs

I am glad that you had a good positive visit this morning and even more so that her surgery can be carried out by your usual Vet , so much better all round . I know full well how worried and anxious you are but try to relax now, it will help Red to relax too going forward xxx

Thank you @kateincornwall. Yes you are right - getting over anxious is no good

I'm really happy you had such a good visit, and good news too that only (!) two more teeth need to be removed, and that the operation can be done locally. I understand about the costs as well
