My Chloe is going to have 8 molars extracted next week

[Chloe2009]

My 5 year old Yorkie is scheduled to have at least 8 teeth extracted next Friday. The vet said she has stage 4 dental disease. The 8 teeth that are suppose to come out are from all 4 sides and I believe are the molars. She is already a very finicky eater and worried that after the extraction she won't eat. She needs to have a full stomach to take the medications they will give her post op. I'm so worried about her going under anaesthesia and having such big dental procedure. I have a feeling once they have her under they will find more teeth that are needing to be extracted. I just want to hear from anybody who went through this and just support. She's my baby and I don't want anything to happen to her.

There are so many yorkies who've been through this exact thing and they do great, so try not to worry. As long as you do the pre-surg bloodwork, your kiddo should be just fine w/ the anesthesia. Losing teeth won't make them lose their appetite. In fact, their appetite can actually improve bc their teeth no longer hurt. Please let us know how she does!

I agree with Ann. You are doing the best for the health of your little girl. Dental disease affects the rest of the body too. I'm sure your vet will give Chloe pain medication and antibiotics. I know how you feel about Chloe. My Katie is my heart, too.

[Chloe2009]

Thank you both for your kind words and support. Funny thing is my Chloe needs to lose a few pounds so I'm hoping her appetite won't be too increased. Lol... The vet said looking at her front teeth it's really deceiving because the back ones are really really bad by comparison. And Chloe will not let anyone look or touch her teeth. I recently adopted another female puppy yorkie, Ariel who is now 4 months old. I am starting to brush her teeth regularly to help her get use to having them touched and brushed. Hopefully to avoid the same problem that Chloe is having now. I will post and let you know how Chloe does, or I may have other questions. Thank you once again.

I have another unrelated question; my Chloe isn't really all that fond of Ariel since I brought Ariel home a month ago. Ariel loves Chloe and follows her around trying to play with her. She will roll onto her back showing her submissive non threatening intentions. Ariel will sniff and rub up onto Chloe sort of how a cat rubs themselves in people's legs. They are not violent towards each other but Chloe will take every opportunity to bark or yap at her even when Ariel is being sweet. I've only had Ariel about a month and I wanted to give Chloe a sister since my daughter moved out with our 7 year old shih poo last May. Chloe seemed lonely when we are all at work. Many people including the vet told me not to worry and things will get better as Ariel gets older and not so hyper and overly playful... My best friend scolded me for getting another puppy let alone another female. Chloe is spayed and I plan to get Ariel spayed at around 6 months too. I love them both so much and it would make me so happy to see them love each other and get along. I've read many blogs on this, but not too many talk about the specifics of how my Chloe and Ariel is behaving. Any thoughts or comments?

A month is not a long time for Chloe to adjust. Puppies are so adorable, but they can be annoying to a dog who is no longer a puppy, especially since their baby teeth are sharp and hurt while playing. I think time will make the adjustment much better. I only have one Yorkie, but before Katie I had three Yorkie spayed females all within a year of each other. The adjustment was easy because they were all babies, but sometimes they had little sisterly spats. It was wonderful that they had each other's love in addition to ours.

I understand and agree with you that at 1 month isn't really all that long for Chloe to adjust and accept this new furry baby in our home. She's been spoiled and didn't have to share any of her things like toys, mommy, etc for a little over a year. I wanted her to have a sister so she wouldn't be so lonely while I'm at work.

A little background on Ariel. I bought her from a person who had her locked up in an outdoor shed isolated and neglected from human interaction and from her mommy. She was the only one for sale so I'm guessing her littermates had already been sold. She was 12 weeks when I got her and she was a mess. What I mean is emotionally and yes physically. Ariel didn't act like a typical puppy. She was acting more like a small animal left to fend for herself. She a was badly malnourished and her fur was patchy, sparse, dry, brittle and thin. She was skin and bones. She looked frazzled when he took her out of the shed top show me. I was told to wait for him to bring her out. I didn't see the conditions inside the shed b but I'm guessing there was fecal material and nothing that she needed like food and water and love. She was trying to climb on me and was scratching me trying to escape by her sheer terror of who we were. I cuddled her and held her firmly petting her so she knew I meant her no harm. It was so heartbreaking. I bought her because I couldn't leave her there. Her parents were in the house but she was locked up alone a small shed all by herself this poor little puppy.

When I brought her home she almost choked on her first meal as if she had not eaten in days. She didn't know how to play with toys, stuffed or chew type until she observed Chloe playing with them. She would not take more than a few steps away from me without running back afraid I would leave her I suppose. She had no potty training, and was just plagued by separation anxiety. The vet said she had ear mites and abundant yeast in her ears. She was malnourished too. I can't crate train her cause it creates too much anxiety.

One month later, miraculously Ariel is a new puppy! She is happy, playful, energetic, loving and affectionate. She loves to sleep on my head and face when we share nap time together on the couch. She has gained weight nicely and her fur is showing improvement. She still hates in when I leave for work but she isn't screaming and barking her butt off like before. She is 80 to 90 % potty trained to go on her pee pads. She's nipping less and not as hard now too. She sleeps through about 5 hours straight at night. She knows that she will never starve, never be neglected or abandoned ever again. She knows that she us just as entitled to her treats, toys, mommy time, walks and playtime just like her older sister Chloe. She is part of our family and is loved to pieces. It gives me so much joy to know that I could give this baby a life that is so different than how it started. That's why I just want her to have that love and bond with Chloe when I'm not home or even just their own connection for life.

Laddy just had 4 teeth extracted and is doing great. He doesn't have the dental disease though. Hopefully once the teeth are pulled they can put her on antibiotics to help clear this up. We do yearly dentals to try to prevent this.

[Chloe2009]

I take Chloe every year to the vet for her annual shots and check up and they always said her teeth are not too bad and didn't need a cleaning. I think they were looking at the front teeth because those are really white and clean. They prescribed me the liquid to put in her water when I complained about her foul breath. I have switched to another vet and she has taken the time and effort to look even though Chloe isn't co operative.

I'm glad to hear that some of your babies handled the extractions well because that is my major concern.

I'm sorry for all the duplicate posts. I didn't read the mage that said a moderator had to review the post first. At first I thought my phone was glitchy and lost my post. Not until later 8 read the message. 😩😩
