She's almost 1 yr and 4 months. I know it needs to be taken out...and soon, i'm just scared to death. I'm going to take her to my vet in kentucky that has run both of her bile acid exams instead of my vet here in TN who seems a little clueless on liver problems. My vet in TN thought it would fall out and now says to not worry about it that they will take it out whenever she has a cleaning. However, that was wayyy before I found out about her compromised liver. I'm wondering now if that tooth has led to her high biles from being in there this long already.
What are NSAIDS?
