 Broke Tooth?!
Doubt anyone has been following this, (I am also under elocin2007), but I recently moved into a house with a roommate who also has another yorkie a few lbs more than Ms. Peka. I have agree'd to keep Mr. Mac over the next few weeks off and on due my roommate being gone and there is no point in me not watching him. They play together and I enjoy the company of two dogs especially when the house is really quiet. Anyways, they were both play tug of war the other night with this 16" stuffed frog. Mac, being the bigger of the two, apparently pulled the frog very hard and quickly from Peka and BROKE her toothe. I noticed this because she all of a sudden walked away and started licking really quickly and rubbing her paw on her face. I checked her mouth and noticed that he toothe was sticking out sideways. Freaked me out of course and had her into the vets office 30 minutes later. She is still on anti-inflammatory medications/pain meds and we are going back for x-rays and root extraction, etc. However, my major problem now is I'm not sure what I can necessarily do to keep Mac from being so rough! I call his name, try to get his attention, try to keep him from getting to excited, etc and if I go towards him he kind of goes away from me like I'm going to hit him. Very sad because I never have and wont, nor do I to Peka, but I just try to get him away, or pick him up and set him next to me, or across from Peka. I dont mind them playing, its great, but he is just way too rough!! Mind you, he's not my dog so I am limited as to what I can do and dont want to tell my roommate how to train her dog. SUGGESTIONS PLEASE!! |
