Question

so i took sammy to the vet this morning, she said his teeth are loose because he probably had a poor diet from the breeder when i got him at 14 months.
so she said to do nothing about his loose teeth, they will fall out on there own. alot of yorkies have this problem. she said i can give him his rat to play with, it wont hurt him.
she said he does not need a cleaning because i am doing a great job brushing his teeth
she then asked me what i feed him and i told her i had fed him a homecooked diet , then about 3 months ago i switched to raw and the honest kitchen,.

she told me he can salmonella and other horrible things if i continue to feed him raw. she also said he is not getting proper nutrition. i should be giving him a multi vitamin and cosequin. oh and he belongs eating dry hard kibble.
she said he has between stage 2 and 3 kneecaps, lp.
she wants me to switch to science diet, iams or euckenuba-i spelled it wrong.sorry.
i am so upset about this, i think i am doing the right thing and then to be told he can get sick is very upsetting.
i think i will try to post something about the raw diet in another post.
