Usually they say they should come out by the first bday. About the age thing someone else will need to advise you there. Sounds like the lady you got her from didn't really pay much attention to the health and care of the dog. Might have been just in for the puppies and not the dog. Its really hard to believe that people can do that to dogs but they do. Hang in there and if you don't get answers you like change vets. Do you have the same vet as the breeder? That could also be your problem. |
Willow's current vet and the one the breeder took her to are different. I trust the vet that I took her to see, as he has also taken care of my 17 year old cat for her entire life and that was his 1st time meeting Willow. My vet was the one to question her age, point out the puppy tooth, and suggest the cleaning. I agree with the vet, her teeth do look horrible and need attention.
Thank you so much for you thoughts on this, your advice matches to I've been researching and reading! It seems the problem is with the breeder which is what I suspected.
